I'm not on reddit so ...

It's May 1st, 1969. What is Marty the Younger's favorite album and why?

Ok, I actually had to check on dates so this might not line up with May 1 but these were all released in 1969:

Chicago Transit Authority (April 28 1969)
Blood Sweat and Tears (1968)
Crosby Still and Nash (1st album)
King Crimson - Court of the Crimson King (blew my mind)
The Yes Album
Moody Blues - To Our Children's Children's Children
Led Zeppelin II
Beatles - Abbey Road (although I didn't get into this until 1973)

So yes, 1969 was a good year.

What live musical performance that you've attended has stuck in your mind and why?

I saw Van Cliburn perform at Wheaton College when I was 10 or 11. I decided NOT to quit piano. Such an amazing pianist.

When you were first learning to compose, what composer most inspired you and why?

Gentle Giant's Kerry Minnear, and Igor Stravinsky. When I switched my degree from Piano to Composition, these were the two I was listening to the most.

So should I do an AMA here too, or is that inappropriate?

(Btw, TheFirstDreamer.com could still use some more love. I'm looking at you Cody.)
