What song do you wish you had written?

“I Think It’s Going to Rain Today” — Randy Newman

Who would be in your dream songwriter round?

How many in a “round”? I don’t think I’ve been to one yet. I’m going to guess six. Hank Williams, Thomas A. Dorsey, Bertolt Brecht, Skip James, Lou Reed, Henry Mancini.

If you could only listen to one artist’s discography for the rest of your life, whose would you choose?

Blind Boy Fuller

I own approximately two weeks worth of clothes. So, hopefully, not more than two weeks.

The Lobster

If you could re-live one year of your life, which would it be and why?

You stopped my mind with that one. Sorry, I can’t come up with an answer!

Thai or tacos

Which Whiskey is your favorite — Scotch, Tennessee, Myers, Shivers, or Gentry?
