9. HOW DID YOU FIRST DISCOVER CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & THE MAGIC BAND,
AND WAS THERE A PARTICULAR SONG THAT MADE YOU SEE THE LIGHT?:
I bought 'Trout Mask Replica' simply on the basis of a reviewer describing it as the weirdest record ever released. While it took me a while to really
appreciate the album (I'm still finding new realms of pleasure now!), i immediately loved the fractured guitars, shamboling drums and weird vocals
of Ella Guru.

None and never will, I'm afraid, but i got to see the Magic Band play Glastonbury in 2004! that was good.

13. MUSICAL ABILITY / TRAINING:
Grade 6 on piano, grade 6 on guitars (i like electric and acoustic), enthusiasm on all manner of drums, bass, and percussion. Yay bongo!

14. ANY OTHER INFO YOU WISH TO ADD?

ame is. No real CDs as such though. If anyone is interested/for more details contact me on rattatouie_provencal@hotmail.com.
