My musical tastes are hugely eclectic with interests in rock, blues, ska, jazz, country, etc. A long history of broadcasting has exposed me to a wide range of artists. This page gives me the opportunity on a weekly basis (or as time permits) to show you some CD's I recommend.

The Who's Tommy has been one of my alltime favorite albums and movies so when I come across someone covering it, I am interested. But when it's one of my favorite groups, The Smithereens, I definitely have to get a copy. According to the liner notes, founding members Jim Babjak and Dennis Diken credit The Who and the rock opus Tommy with the two getting together and eventually forming The Smithereens. Tommy is an album that I listen to repeatedly and the movie version is one of the few films I watch many times a year. My only issue with the album is its brevity. There are many songs from the original album I would have liked to have seen on this album such as "Cousin Kevin," "Fiddle About," and "Tommy's Holiday Camp" but the CD as it stands is one I recommend.
