Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I just play things by ear. There’s a million things I could be doing, no way of knowing which one. Maybe being a radio host for a folk radio program, or producing some sweet band, or teaching, or doing field research in ethnomusicology. Where ever the wind blows, I think I’ll do fine.

What is your idea of a perfect date? Great food, a bottle of wine, and seeing a band/artist neither of us have heard of.
First thing you notice about another person: Their style. It’s more the way you carry yourself, than how
you dress, though.

Biggest turn off: Jealousy

Most recent movie you’ve seen: The Shining

One thing you can’t live without: Singing

Your favorite junk food: Bacon wrapped anything

Who would you want to trade places with for a day? Paul Simon

Describe yourself in three words: Cheesy folk singer
