    Not tagged … this gives some insight.  I wonder how doing this for a class week after week would be good.

    d – hah! I knew you’d comment on that. of course, your cover of mmmmmbop would freaking rock…

    cole – nothing personal. only supposed to tag 5 others, and I almost skipped that to help stop the meme… i’m curious about what you’d answer (and davidicus, and king, and alan levine, and scott leslie, and about a dozen others…) feel free to answer for extra credit :-)

    Thanks for continuing the meme, D'Arcy – it's interesting that the music we listen to in childhood is often still an important part of our adult lives, isn't it?

    I'm going to  have to explore CBC Radio 3 a bit further… Smile
