THE POWER OF POP TOP TEN

MR. ENCRYPTO

1.      Why play music? Because I couldn’t be a lumberjack.

2.      Who are your influences? I’m a child of the 60’s, so all the bands starting with “B” are at the center of my universe. Everything explodes outwards from there.

3.      What is success? Being asked to answer Top Ten questionnaires!

4.      Why should people buy your CD? Because it doesn’t suck.

5.      Who do you love? Michael Palin, Brian Wilson, Susannah Hoffs, Maddy Prior, Spike Milligan, Neil Innes, Jill Clayburgh, Pistol Allen, Teri Garr, Jeff Bridges, Ringo.

6.      What do you hope to achieve with the new CD? 10% increase over last year’s sales figures, with increased performance in the all-important 24-35 demographic.

7.      Why did the label release your CD? Let’s just say I know the boss.

8.      Who comes to your gigs? Michael Palin, Brian Wilson, Susannah Hoffs...oh, sorry, wrong list.  I wish.

9.      What is your favorite album? Smile is one.  Rubber Soul is another, but just about every Beatles album is my favorite at some point or other.  Time Fades Away.  A Mighty Wind.  How many do I get?

10.     How did you get here? Kismet.
