One!

1. Why did you sign up for a roots music FYS section?
> I like music. & thought it would be fun.

2. If you could take 5 pieces of music with you to a desert isle, what would they be?
> 1. Rhapsody in Blue
2. Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 22 in E flat major
3. "Sparrow" by Simon and Garfunkel
4. "Tank!" by The Seat Belts
5. "Over the Rainbow/What Wonderful World" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

This was difficult. I need to stop thinking about it now. Sparrow would probably be replaced with "Long, Long, Long" by the Beatles. Or maybe "Such Great Heights" by Iron and Wine. Geeze. Or maybe Albequerque? I don't know how to spell.

3. What's a piece of music you associate with a parent, grandparent, or someone you know well that's at least a generation older than you.
>I don't really know. Queen in general and "What's Up" by Four Non-Blondes remind me of my dad because I remember him listening to them while he worked out when I was little. I can't think of anything else.

4. If we all decided to replace the national anthem with a new song, and everyone agreed that you got to choose, what would you recommend?
>"This Land is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie

5. What kinds of music related performance stuff (if any) do you do?
> I don't do any performance stuff. But I took violin lessons for a long time. I played clarinet in elementary and middle school. I was in choir in high school. And I took voice lessons for two years.

6. Given the readings and what (little) you know about Governor Blanco, if you had a chance to ask her one question, what would it be?
> What did you learn through this experience?
