I'm a musicologist living and teaching in New York City. I love contemporary and 20th century classical music, and I'm a huge jam band fan. Pop or classical, as long as it's good music, it's all the same to me. The first tape I ever owned was Billy Joel's "An Innocent Man" (4 yrs. old), the first CD I ever owned was Journey's "Greatest Hits" (9 yrs. old), the first concert I ever saw was Milli Vanilli with Young MC opening (9 yrs. old). My tastes have changed a bit over the last 25 years....
