 6. BEEFHEART ALBUMS IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE:
 7. TOP 10 OTHER ACTS:
 8. NUMBER OF ALBUMS OWNED:           too many to count.

 9. HOW DID YOU FIRST DISCOVER CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & THE MAGIC BAND,
 AND WAS  THERE A PARTICULAR SONG THAT MADE YOU SEE THE LIGHT?:
I was at  a friend's house when I was 16 and he had a copy of Trout Mask  Replica. I  asked him to play it and I was hooked right from Dachau Blues on. I'm  one  of those oddballs that liked Beefheart right from the first
 listening. His  music made perfect sense. Of course, it didn't hurt that at this  time, I  was really sick of listening to the top 40 crap that was typically  spewing forth from the popular radio stations of the day. Beefheart music was a bright spot in the world of teeny-bop bubble-gum muzak. Thanks Don.
 One more thing... How did my friend happen to have a copy of Trout Mask? He was at a local discount store when he first saw the album sitting in the record rack. He had never heard of Captain Beefheart before. He
 bought it because HE LIKED THE PICTURES ON THE ALBUM COVER! Front and back. Nice job, Hurb.
