At what age did you discover alternative rock and roll? How did this discovery make you feel?
7th grade (12 or 13) was the best grade for me for two reasons: The Legend of Zelda and Alternative Music.  I randomly bought The Cure: Disintegration on a shopping trip with my mom and from there fell into Depeche Mode, The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, Jesus and Mary Chain, Sugarcubes, New Order, Siouxsie, They Might Be Giants, Pixies, etc…  I routinely taped “120 Minutes” and “Post-Modern” which I would watch before school; Murray State University’s radio show “Beyond the Edge” was godsend and listened to weekly with the help of my mom’s aluminum foil.  My radio looked like a small UFO reaching out to the mothership.  One day I was going to leave Milli Vanilli-ville, and I knew it.

When did you begin playing your instrument, the one that you play in reading?
3rd grade

Were you self-taught or did you take lessons (regarding the instrument you play in reading)?
I took lessons for piano from 3rd grade to 8th grade; clarinet lessons from 6th to 12th grade; xylophone 9th grade marching band; bass drum 10th to 12 grade marching band.

Have you ever done the Macarena?
Macarena, Electric Slide…yep…I’ve done it all.

What is your favorite local band, aside from the pine club and reading?
Follow the Train

Do you own an iPod? If so, then what artists are on it? If not, what bands would be on it?
No.  However, if I did, it would pretty much be: Rossini/Fugazi/Weezer/Ravel/Bjork/Jesus and Mary Chain/Leonard Cohen/Breeders/Bach/Echo and the Bunnymen/Le Tigre/Siouxsie/New Order/Smiths/Tom Petty/Pixies/Depeche Mode/Kraftwerk/Cure/Bowie……………………

The who said that, “The Kids Are Alright”. Do you agree with this statement?
No, since I’m convinced they stole our shit….I’m pissed.
