Started off as a ProgRock teen, made fun of " Opera"....and Punk...and Rap
......moved to San Francisco....hung out at Caffe Trieste( a beat caffe, with an Opera Jukebox)... Learned to love Opera,...went to Art School with Punks, and learned to appreciate their angst and expression......was baffled at first when a friend gave me a copy of Bitches Brew....but absorbed it after a month....and swung hard into Jazz.......saw Don Cherry at Keystone Corner....and began my " World Music Explorations".....which takes me to my fascination with Okinawan harmonies......and early Korean folk/ shamanistic songs, reinterpreted by bands such as SsingSsing....and LEENALCHI..........check them out on YouTube....
