Hope to hear more of your carnatic music interests.

I was like you, listening to western classical as a teen and in college. College was when I discovered north Indian Classical (hindustani) music and been listening to it ever since.

OK, That's Joni Mitchell and Hindustani Classical to add to my list. I'll soon be up to twelve! For the latter, I'll select some Dhrupad. Sadly, when I should have been listening to Joni, I formed an association of her music with depressed teenage girls listening to it!

1. A.Pärt - Symphony nr3-I 
2. A.Pärt - Symphony nr3-II
3. A.Pärt - Symphony nr3-III  note: 1971(1999 remaster) recording conveys emotions the most, but 2010 version is mastered better.
4. A.Pärt - Cantus in memorian Benjamin Britten
5. Flashbulb - We are alone in a city
6. Puscifer - Vagina Mine (2007 original)
7. Radiohead - I might be wrong
8. Radiohead - Climbing up the walls
9. BT - The Antikythera mechanism
10.Darkside - Paper Trails
11.G.Mahler - Symphony nr9 Pt.2
12.Steak nr8 - Push Pull

Meal: Medium rare beef or wild boar in a special secret marinade

Musician: Arvo Pärt. Although conversation with him  would scare me a bit. The caliber of his understanding of music is probably beyond my comprehension. A good thing is we could have a conversation in our mother language.

I think i might crack in the last minute if pressed, and i'd do all A.Part disc.

Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe (Voodoo Child)
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child (Slight Return) (Voodoo Child)
Pink Floyd - Time (Dark Side of the Moon)
Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or Alive (Greatest Hits)
Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers title track
Led Zeppelin - Kashmir (Mothership)
Led Zeppelin - In the Evening (Mothership)
Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks (Mothership)
Grand Funk - We're an American Band (greatest Hits)
Deep Purple - The Mule (Fireball)
Dire Straits - Heavy Fuel (On Every Street)
Mark Knopfler - Imelda (Golden Street)

Man, its tough to pick just twelve but there you go. As far as a meal is concerned, it would be Indian Naan and paneer butter masala.

My fave musician - why Jimi of course.

Plus one for mentioning masala. I always have masala in my kitchen and yes I grew up with the mixed Surinam kitchen.

Twelve tracks, eh?  Here goes.

1. Baltimore Symphony, Marin Alsop cond., Dvorak Symphony No. 9, second movement
2. Strength in Numbers, "Slopes" (from The Telluride Sessions)
3. Oliver Nelson, "Stolen Moments" (from Blues and the Abstract Truth)
4. Rosanne Cash, "Somewhere in the Stars" (from Somewhere in the Stars)
5. Moss, "I Carry Your Heart" (from Moss)
6. The David Grisman Quintet, "Dawg's Rag" (from The David Grisman Quintet)
7. Miles Davis, "So What" (from Kind of Blue)
8. Bill Frisell, "Nowhere Man" (from All We Are Saying)
9. Münchener Bach-Orchester, Karl Richter cond., Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, first movement
10. The Tony Rice Unit, "Common Ground" (from Backwaters)
11. McCoy Tyner, "Moment's Notice" (from McCoy Tyner Plays John Coltrane)
12. Cream, "Crossroads" (from Wheels of Fire)

Of course, no self-respecting pirate would set sail without a 2Tb hard drive in a watertight bag tucked away in his kit.

Meal: No foodie am I.  Chorizo and egg burrito and a box of Entenmann's chocolate chip cookies.

Musician: Tony Rice.  He can give me an hour lesson every morning, and I can spend the rest of the day practicing.

Any time. But I drink this stuff all day, every day, for past 15 years or so, so, for simplicity and consistency, I buy a spice mix (nuts'n'spices) for a ready-rolled cuppa   :)p13
