What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? Growing up in a family of immigrants, I was introduced to music through the beautiful folk music my family would sing whenever we were all together. I have the most wonderful memories of being very small, and seeing my family throw their arms around each other's shoulders at the table after a meal, swaying and laughing as they sang their old folk songs in German. I was so small that I had to stand in between my aunts or uncles so I could join in because my arms wouldn’t reach their shoulders if I were sitting. And even though I can’t remember the words, the feeling of that music stayed with me; became a part of me. I can honestly close my eyes and be right back there at my Oma’s table in their old basement. All of the best parties happened in the basements of various family members because it was the only place you could fit twenty or thirty people around a table, unless you were in the garden.
