what was your wedding song?
Over The Rhine - Rhapsodie 
More female vocals
sorry spelled a name wrong - Lorez Alexandria - I cut my teeth on her album Alexandria The Great.

If you like Etta I would look into Lorez Alexander - big voice and lots of attitude like Etta, also Cassandra Wilson (her cover of Van Morrison's Tupelo Honey is excellent), Salena Jones, and Jacintha are all very interesting voices with great tak... 
Modern Jazz Pianist recommendation
Geoff Keezer Live at the Dakota is an excellent album. Like Mehldau he grabs some unusual pieces i.e. Bjorks' Venus as a Boy. You may also want to check out Vassilis Tsabropoulos another ECM product along the lines of Tord Gustafson. 
How large is your music collection?

Which songs/albums take you back to college?
Ocean Blue and The Cure's all mixed up. Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine were on the play list too.

whats the finest recorded cd you've heard?
Jerry Gonzalez - Y Los Piratas Del Flamenco. This is the most natural sounding cd I have on all instruments. I have a lot of great sounding cd's but many of them are great on guitar or piano or voices but may lack i another area. This one is beaut... 
anyone done Pathos Logos with Zu Druid MkIV?
Thank you for the response. It does not look like a lot of people have made this pairing so I will take all feedback I can get. Would you say the Pathos gear leans warm / tubey or more to the exact solid state sound?
