Janet Sommer's Interests

Music
Jazz, Brazilian, The Great American Songbook, Americana, Blues, Traditional, Folk.
Movies
Casablanca (and almost anything with Bogart). Cabaret. New York, New York. Laura. Ken Burns Jazz. Truly, Madly, Deeply. Brazil. The Wizard of Oz. Many more that I can never think of when I'm pressed to think of them.
Biography, Mystery, Poetry, Literature, Non-Fiction. But why stop there? Magazines, periodicals, the backs of Pop Tart boxes, and little scraps of paper that float through my awareness on a daily basis. Many of which I scoop up and fill my pockets with.
Heroes
Marian McPartland, Dorthea Lange, any fellow travelers on the road to making art, music, or the written word.
