Because I was asked… Superlative

1. How did you discover JM?

I loved his music from the time I heard “Your Body is a Wonderland”… didn’t take to “Heavier Things” at first, but eventually came around.   When the Trio hit… I was hooked. 

2. Which album do you identify with most and why?

Born and Raised

3. Which song would you like to see JM cover in the future?

……..  I am always happy to play the spectator on questions like this, rather than the influencer.  I never would have thought Mercy could have been as bad ass as it is, as a cover.  He’s the musician… I’m the girl in politics.  If he doesn’t come into my office to tell me how to plan a media strategy, I won’t go into his to tell him what songs he should cover. :o)

4. Are you a musician/singer or ever had an aspiration to be one?

Writing has always been my first love, but I dabbled in music for a bit.  I taught myself how to play the piano, played the flute for five years, but the guitar was this impossible mystery.   I went back to writing and writing and I have been happy together ever since. 

5. What are your thoughts on JM’s new album and new sound?

Love it. 

6. What do you think happened to Walt Grace?

I think Walt Grace is still walking amongst us on his own journey. 

7. If you could tell JM one thing right now, what would it be?

I am so proud of you. 

8. Favorite JM concert and why was it your favorite?

….. Honestly… they all have a time and a place and a special moment to them.  If I had to choose one?  Baton Rouge.  No real reason… or maybe the June 2007 Houston show… because I heard Covered in Rain live, and I never thought I’d be able to say that. 

9. Who would you like to see JM work with next? Could be an artist, producer, group whatever.

A Yo-Yo Ma collab would be - intriguing and one of the few people I don’t think he’s worked with. 

10. Describe yourself in three words?

smart, sassy, liberal…(?) IDK

11. Finish this sentence: Love is…

…something personal, different, and undefinable to us all.
