In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was a kid my school bus driver was a musical genius who played Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. He salvaged a busted dreadnaught from a neighbor's trash pile and gave it to me, along with the lessons that would change everything. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Leonard Cohen, Leonard Cohen: Greatest Hits Phil Ochs, Phil Ochs - Greatest Hits Ramones, Ramones Phil Ochs is a musical hero, a self-destructing genius who named his best album of new material "Greatest Hits" in one of the best jokes in music history. I taught myself to play the Leonard Cohen songs when I lived in Prague. Ramones? Nuff said. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Sweet Violin” Sweet Violin was the song that started my journey toward sharing my music. I recorded it on a jailbroken original iPhone with the first multitracking app. I used the mic on a set of headphones for vocals. The resulting low-fi mix captured something.
