As it turns out

Musically my tastes are all over the board. Even I have never been able to put a finger on what my musical deal is. And I've spent a lot of time with myself.

I would like to thank pandora.com for specifying what it is I like:
Subtle use of vocal harmony, a vocal-centric aesthetic, a dynamic male vocalist.

Now that's not exactly right, but it definitely hits one of the many blows of a hammer it takes to put a nail in coffin.

• I do like subtle harmony. Simon and Garfunkle are my heros.
• Vocal-centric for sure. I love music. But I want to hear the story. I think of it this way: People want a 5,000 square foot home. The wallpaper and carpet just add to the ambience. That's me, with the vocal for the square footage and instrumentation for carpets and wallpaper.
• Male Vocalist? Well not so much. I prefer to hear a woman sing. This goes back to my mom singing all the time. I loved to hear her sing. She used to sing all the time when I was a kid. The parents had a band and mom sang, played tamborine, guitar, and all the stuff she could do.

Other things I like are folk/American (Michelle Shocked), technical nonsense (moe.), old country (Jerry Reed), and almost any other style of music that is either humorous or well crafted.
