What music do you like ?

I have eclectic tastes

I am a musician for my own amusement

a few favorite artists of mine are
Depeche Mode
Steely Dan
Pink Floyd
ZZ Top

I highly recommend YES to anyone who would find themselves reading this board.

songs that may be of particular interest to fans of RB would include

And You And I
Close to the Edge
Mind Drive
Homeworld

Time and a Word
and the entire CD : Magnification

I have some photos on my website that I have shot at YES performances that where very special for me.

I like Depeche Mode, too.

My taste is quite broad but yet selective: I love jazz and classical, especially baroque music, Slavic classicals, contemporary a cappella choirs and Spanish guitar.

Of the more contemporary I like

Jewel
Tori Amos
Coldplay
Damien Rice
Jackopierce
Jamie Cullum
John Mayer
Jason Mraz.

And all the wonderful old goldies....

I listen to everything as long as it makes sense and has a good rhythm. Yup! Music has to make sense, too.

One could say, I'm more into popular artists, but I only listen to their quality tracks, as they work with the best. These are: Evanescence, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Thomas Mester , Tina Turner, Janet, Enya, Seal, Lionel Richie, Chaka Khan, Savage Garden, Annie Lennox, Prince, Nightwish, Diana Ross, GnR, The Temptations, Aerosmith, Stevie Wonder etc.

the pictures on my main page are shots I took at YES concerts links are the year of the tours.
if you followed the webshots link, there are more concert photos, and some personal shots of my home town in Indiana, and a house on a lake I lived in my first year in the Ozarks. also I think some funky shots of old Ken in past times with volvos, dinosaurs, tubas and such.

funny about F L Webber, I've never gave him much interest, but saw the film of PTO the other night and the Phantom characture was very cool.

Hi you! will look at site further.....

re: FLW, OB, read some of his lyrics for Phantom: PHANTOM
I gave you my music . . .
made your song take wing . . .
and now, how you've
repaid me:
denied me
and betrayed me . . .
He was bound to love you
when he heard you sing . . .
Christine ...
Christine ...
RAOUL/CHRISTINE (offstage)
Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
say the word
and I will follow you . . .
Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning . . .
PHANTOM
You will curse the day
you did not do
all that the Phantom asked
of you . . .!


Father once spoke
of an angel . . .
I used to dream he'd
appear . . .
Now as I sing,
I can sense him . . .
And I know
he's here . . .
(trance-like)
Here in this room
he calls me softly . . .
somewhere inside . . .
hiding . . .
Somehow I know
he's always with me . . .
he - the unseen
genius . . .
MEG (uneasily)
Christine, you must have
been dreaming . . .
stories like this can't
come true . . .
Christine, you're talking
in riddles . . .
and it's not
like you . . .
CHRISTINE (not hearing her, ecstatic)
Angel of Music!
Guide
and guardian!
Grant to me your
glory!
MEG (to herself)
Who is this angel?
This . . .
BOTH
Angel of Music!
Hide no longer!
Secret and strange
angel . . .
CHRISTINE (darkly)
He's with me, even now . . .
MEG (bewildered)
Your hands are cold . . .
CHRISTINE;
All around me . . .
MEG
Your face, Christine,
it's white . . .
CHRISTINE
