09/16/09 Andy: COME N GITYA SUM-O-THIS

Jesus this has taken me forever to write. Mark mentioned to me the idea of writing up some of my musical influences and it turned into a research paper. I felt like I needed to type up every single major musical event I could recall but realized that would be incredibly dull. But something really cool came out of this. I thought long and hard about music and what it's done for me. I have so many great memories attached to this list……..it reads like the story of my life.
