 | Aftertones by Janis Ian
Buy new: $29.99 / Used from: $60.70 I met Janis when I was working at Appel Farm. When she played her show, I was sitting on the stairs to the sound booth.

 | Cyndi Lauper - Live... At Last (DVD in Amray Case Packaging)
Buy used from: $4.44 I've always liked Cyndi Lauper, but a few years I got hold of this DVD. Suddenly, Cyndi stopped being just this popular '80 icon. I saw her for the really talented person that she really is.

 | Standards by Ray Charles
Buy used from: $5.96 In the 4th Grade, I dressed up as Ray Charles for my book report on his autobiography. Why my mother allowed me to read that book, I don't know.

 | John Denver - The Wildlife Concert
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $9.07 There was a phase in my life when I wanted to learn guitar. That yearning has resurfaced periodically, but I have mostly stuck to the piano.
This yearning stems from the fact that whe I was a pre-teen I declared that I was going to be the next John Denver.
