I like alternative rock the best. The Canadian Jane Siberry is my favorite musician. My favorite song of her's is called "The Bird in the Gravel" from 1988. It's really more audio performance art than a song as there are different characters, time changes, spoken parts and sound effects and it's about ten minutes long. It's just so ethereal and poignant and transporting! It builds to a crescendo so skillfully it just makes my heart expand!

What turns has your life taken that were unexpected? I worked as a computer programmer for several years after hating computers before and i've played competitive Scrabble for twenty years without being aware of any interest in the game prior to getting involved.
