She loves hearing live music and saw lots and lots of bands in Boston in the late '70s to mid '80s. She went to grad school in Austin, TX in the mid '80s to early '90s. She's got an amazing memory for things she likes too. She really appreciated this topic - it reminded her that there's a lot of good music she likes that she hasn't listened to in years.

She still talks about how much fun it was going to see bands at The Rat in Boston and Liberty Lunch in Austin. She gets misty-eyed when she talks about them being gone. :-(

So either being a DJ or a music critic would have probably been an ideal career based on her interests, but it didn't turn out that way. At least not yet. :-)

We'll be going to see X tonight, and she and her sister will be seeing The (formerly Grateful) Dead next week. It should be fun.

Cheers,
Scott.
