Yep, you did good! LOL.

It always makes my heart happy to see John Hiatt mentioned!!!! YAY!

And it's perfectly ok to use Joe Jackson more than once. In fact, it's superb!!

You know I am a big Hiatt fan. Did I ever tell you about how I saw him and Sonny do a private gig in a small recording studio with about 20 other people? I'll have to write about that.

Fantastic choices, and very creative. Sorry I didn't think of the Suzanne Vega - seems so obvious now that you listed it.

Thanks

I stand by my horrible taste in music (although I tried to stay true to my first thoughts rather than mulling them over).

It's ok Jason, your taste is only partially horrible... The VU and Dead choices offset the Olivia Newton John

Thanks for playing

Dude. I want to play that game!

Hey! Tried to reply via email, but it kept bouncing back. The answer is Yes! I will marry you! (Oh, wait. Wrong question.)

I mean...Yes! Post the answer in my comments and get in for the drawing, man!

I think I'll do the game in tomorrow's Free Jam. 'S that okay?

Cool - I wasn't sure if my posting the answer would mess it up for the rest.

It would be very cool to win the contest, and I'm really looking forward to the interview post.

Am really digging your blog - I find it surprisingly difficult to find good folks to chat music with.

I pulled this from Music Memoirs (I usually forget to attribute it) - feel free to join in anytime.

Thanks for your visit and comments
