When I was in High School, I spent the summers in the North Carolina Mountains working for my Great Aunt at her music store. Music was such a huge part of my life even then because of dance but before these summers, I didn't understand music the way that I do now. I had no idea of the vastness of the music industry and all there was to offer. Before this point in time, I only listened to classical, The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, Michael Jackson, New Age and whatever was on the radio (or whatever CD's my sister bought). Mostly because this was what was around me. It is kind of sad when you write it down actually. But the first CD that I was drawn to was Lucy Kaplansky's "Ten Year Night". It spoke to me in a way that no music had before. It was the first album that I decided that I liked, all on my own. No one told me to like it, I discovered it, so to speak. And since this point in time, discovering new music has been a passion. But new music for me doesn't mean it has to be new, just new to me. So, sample the goodness that is Lucy Kaplansky.
