Being a musician myself, music has always played an important role in my life and almost every event or time of year has some type of musical association for me. Though I can admire all music styles for their artistic merit, I really can’t stand classical, metal or rap. Classical was too much a part of my training and I hate it. Metal is just noise and rap, well that doesn’t make any sense to me.

My primary like is Celtic and early Renaissance music but I also like hard rock, alternative and pop but ultimately always find my way back to Celtic roots.

Favorite Artists
Lady Gaga: OMG where the hell did she come from? She has taken the world by storm and instantly memorized me with great tone and sound. Yes she is freaky, but once you get past that she is incredibly talented. I agree with what some say, she is the Madonna of the 21st Century. Find CDs

Loreena McKennitt: has a voice and talent that is unmatched. The majority of her Celtic and world music that touches the firey Celtic blood running somewhere in my distant family line comes from her many travels along the paths taken by the Celts through the ancient world. Find CDs.

Darren Hayes: this sassy Aussie just makes me melt every time I hear him. The breakout star of the defunct Savage Garden band has a unique pop voice that draws you in to feel his emotion. I fell in love the very first time I saw him singing in the music video ‘I Knew I Loved You’ and those gorgeous eyes of his looked up at the camera. Too bad he’s married to his boyfriend now. ::SIGH:: Find CDs

Band I Would Be In
Daughtry: If I were to be in a band his would be it. He is totally hot and has a to-die-for voice. Find CDs

Other favorite artists: David Cook, Sarah Mclachlan, Celine Dion, Madonna, Nick Lachey (I will take what’s left of him… if only he were gay… Jessica, what were you thinking???), Melissa Etheridge, Cher, Jim Brickman
