I am a very stereotypical feminist type and LOVE folk music (you know like John Denver and the '60's/'70's stuff like Crosby, Stills Nash and Young) My favorites are the Indigo Girls and Ani Di Franco. I also love James Taylor. I LOVE LOVE any artist who uses an acustic gutair and who singer-songwrites. Growing up, my family would have HUGE Thanksgivings with close friends, and there'd always be someone playing on a gutair so it would be like a giant hootenany. Right now I'm trying to learn how to play the gutair. Another one of my favorite singers is a local singer-songwriter that I went to high school with, named Rebecca Correia. She's slowly but surely becoming very established. A couple of years ago, she opened for Shawn Colvin, and has opened for Livingston Taylor (a professor at Berklee and brother of James) and Melissa Ferrick (an Ani wanna-be) I also love Broadway musicals...am a FANATIC about them...my favorite is Les Miz, but I also love Lloyod Webber's stuff.
