Even more Michael Chiorazzi amazed when everyone else discovered him. Not a day goes by when I don’t listen to his music and think about getting to another concert (22 and counting). —Michael Chiorazzi, Associate Dean for Information Services, James and Beverly Rogers Professor of Law, and Professor of Information Resources & Library Science, Daniel Cracchiolo Law Library, University of Arizona Rogers College of Law, Tucson This is such a revealing, intimate, and thoughtprovoking question! These six songs have always deeply resonated with me. They are my life’s soundtrack: Shauna Wiest • “Higher Love” from Steve Winwood’s 1986 album, Back in the Highlife. It is a song of possibility, faith, and redemption. This song always gives me the perseverance to push through, even when all I want to do is give up and quit. • “For What It’s Worth” (also known as “Stop Children What’s that Sound”) written by Stephen Stills and performed by Buffalo Springfield in 1967. I was born the same year it was written and released in my hometown of Los Angeles. The lyrics describe a decade of social and soulful unrest and a counterculture’s peaceful response. 30 AALL Spectrum ■ July 2014 If your life had a soundtrack, what would it be? • “California Love” by 2Pac featuring Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman, released in 1995. This unforgettable tribute to my home state rocks every major city by name, including where I was born— Inglewood! • “Comfortably Numb,” from Pink Floyd’s 1979 double album, The Wall. I was sitting front row when I heard Roger Waters perform this song live—it still sends chills up my spine whenever I hear it. • “On My Own” (Epinone’s solo) from Les Miserables. When I first saw Les Miserables in 1992, I was living alone, had recently broken up with my boyfriend, and attended the play alone. There are few songs with lyrics so emotionally connected, powerful, and thoughtful than this. • “Crazy Train” from Ozzy Osbourne’s 1980 album, Blizzard of Oz. Show me a person who has never felt like a passenger on a crazy train, and I will show you an unexamined life. But seriously, the guitar riffs by the late and great Randy Rhoads absolutely rock this track. —Shauna Wiest, Law Librarian, Stoel Rives LLP, Salt Lake City If my life had a soundtrack, it would be the song “Happy” by Pharrell Williams. This year I retired from my law practice, finished my MLIS, and started Lisa Foster working in February as a reference librarian for Thomas Jefferson School of Law in my hometown of San Diego. I was always a pretty happy lawyer, but I’m a happier librarian, and I’m optimistic about the future in my new career. —Lisa Foster, Reference Librarian, Thomas Jefferson School of Law, San Diego “Vertigo” by Bernard Herrmann from Hitchcock’s masterpiece. Mystery, romance, suspense . . . or maybe that’s just what I’d like to have playing as the soundtrack of my life! —Christine Stouffer, Director of Library Services, Thompson Hine LLP, Cleveland A bizarre mishmash of the Seinfeld bass line, the Law & Order clang, and a lone Beatle singing “there will be an answer . . . .” Eve Ross —Eve Ross, Assistant Librarian/Research Specialist, McNair Law Firm, P.A., Columbia, South Carolina "As" by Stevie Wonder. The message for me is to believe and trust that everything in the universe is exactly as it should be, that God (or a higher power, or the Easter Bunny, whatever you prescribe to) has a plan. Love and kindness are supreme, and as long as our lives are filled with both, it's all good. It makes me want to dance and reminds me of great times with my friends on rooftops in the summer. —Lusiella Fazzino, Legal and Electronic Services Librarian, Connecticut The soundtrack of my life is the song “Morning Is Broken,” because that’s what is usually going through my head. (“Morning has broken, like the first Janet Lewis Reinke morning . . . Black bird has spoken, like the first bird.”) I like the song. Sometimes I even sing it, but I try to sing quietly, so as not to bother co-workers. —Janet Lewis Reinke, Head of Research Services, Florida International University College of Law Library, Miami
