9) Can you remember the first time you really listened to a song on the radio, who was the artist?
Bay City Rollers - Saturday Night. Summer 1976 (I was 13), we were coming back from the cottage, I was trapped in the back of a Town & Country station wagon with all the luggage while my older sisters and their friends constantly sang S A T U R D A Y night! I hate Top 40 Radio Format.
10) Did you make mix cassettes for yourself and your friends?
Yes I was always a audio geek, I always looked after the party tapes for the bush parties.

Minnie the Mutcher, Cab Calloway
12) Did you purchase a MP3/IPod player yet?
The company has given me a PDA, I use windows media player and a 1 Gig Flash memory card, it holds about 200 plus songs. I then listen to music via headphones or a cassette adapter in my car.
13) Do you listen to music at work?
Yes .. otherwise I would go crazy .. I've hooked the PDA into a spare set of speakers in my office.
14) Do you sing along to the radio/cd player in the car?
Yes, loud and strong. One time I was driving my neice and nephew home from a week at the cottage, I had Great Big Sea's Road Rage in the CD player and sang my heart out the whole trip. A few weeks later my neice told my wife that I was a very bad singer. (their dad is a professional singer)
15) Have you taken your kid/kids to a concert? Who?
We took middle and Eldest to the Concert Fpr Toronto, Eldest wants to go to see the Who, but tickets for the two of us would be almost $300. I offered to take him to Rancid and Dropkick Murphys but he had arranged to go skateboarding with his friends (who would you rather be with your Dad or your friends).
16) Do you like your wife/husbands,son or daughters taste in music?
Eldest seems to like what I like, though he really is getting into AD/DC and I've never been a huge fan. Middle is into Black Eyed Peas, Cheetah Girls and Kelly Clarkson, so no I don't realy like her music, but I put up with it. Youngest likes anything so she is easy to get along with. Wife is a child of the 60's R&B music scene, Marvin Gaye, Supremes and James Brown.
17)What type of music do you like?
I don't think there is any music genre that I don't like at least something from. I love to listen to all forms of Rock & Roll / Rock - Garage, Alternative, Punk, New Wave, Classic Rock, and Blues, R&B, Jazz, Classical, Celtic also Bluegrass. I even like some Rap, Folk and Country songs.
Shapes of Things - Yardbirds
Shapes of things before my eyes,
Just teach me to despise.
Will time make men more wise?
Here within my lonely frame,
My eyes just hurt my brain.
But will it seem the same?
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier.
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Now the trees are almost green.
But will they still be seen?
When time and tide have been.
Fall into your passing hands.
Please don't destroy these lands.
Don't make them desert sands.
Chorus, Lead.
Soon I hope that I will find,
Thoughts deep within my mind.
That won't disgrace my kind.
