Rock On, Friday Five!

1. What was the first band you saw in concert? I'm not completely sure, but I want to say that it was The Battlefield Band, an absolutely awesome bagpipes-and-synthesizers group from Scotland. I think the first big-name band I saw in a large venue was The Moody Blues.

2. Who is your favorite artist/band now? There is now and probably always will be a three-way tie for the title of my favorite band: Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, and Rush.

3. What's your favorite song? Oh, geez, I totally fail to understand how anybody could settle on just one favorite song. If I have to pick... Let's say Rush's "Roll the Bones," just to pluck something randomly out of the atmosphere.

4. If you could play any instrument, what would it be? Probably acoustic guitar, but the likelihood of that happening is next to nil. I'm really not a very musical person. I did study the flute for a year or two in elementary school and actually learned to produce something resembling a tune, but it never came very naturally to me and I've never had any great desire to take it up again.

5. If you could meet any musical icon (past or present), who would it be and why? Hell, I dunno. Tom Lehrer.
