Over at VOICES TO HEAR I have a feature called Simply Six. Pretty much it's a short interview I came up with to email various singers and songwriters. And like the name implies it consists of six questions. The questions are as follows:1. For many artists, they cite a defining moment for themselves when they knew they wanted to be a singer. For many it was the appearance of Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show, to another generation it was the Beatles’ appearance on Sullivan half a decade later. Is there such a defining moment for you?
2. When you’re not creating music what are you listening to? Who are some of your favorites?
3. What would you say is your greatest moment so far as an artist, either on record or live?
4. Do you believe music can change the world or is just something to listen to? How much can music influence current events?
5. How has technology affected the music industry? How has technology affected your career as a musician?
6. Now for my Barbara Walters question: If you were a pair of shoes what type of shoes would you be?
I've sent these questions out to a bunch of artists over the last week. I've started getting back answers. My first interview that I posted was with one of my favorite performers, Shannon McNally. The next one I posted was with another local artist Maggie Brown.
I've got more in the can waiting, from Toby Lightman to promises of ones from Susan Cowsill and Lily Holbrook and more. I'll be posting them every week and hopefully continue to get more as I run through the ones I have.
Go check the answers out, I think the questions are pretty cool and the answers are even better.

Great questions!
Thanks. I worked pretty hard in framing the questions, trying to make them general enough that they would appeal to just about anyone asking, but provide some informative answers at the same time.
