Push Play

What local luminaries are listening to.

Andrea Alcorn, owner, Gracie’s Bridal
Andrea is a pop fan who is a particular fan of the boys—she digs dudes like Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Josh Kelley and Justin Timberlake. “My musical tastes are pretty much whatever is popular at the time,” says Andrea, 25. “I don’t usually listen to songs that don’t play on the radio.”
Andrea’s play list:
“Stay,” Sugarland
“Love Stoned,” Justin Timberlake
“Low,” Flo Rida feat. T-Pain
“Letter to Me,” Brad Paisley
“Piece of Me,” Britney Spears

Ron Spigelman, conductor, Springfield Symphony Orchestra
For someone who makes his life conducting masterworks, Ron Spigelman sure seems to avoid it in his recreational listening. Tops on his list? Anything with an emotional tug. “I love the artists and songs that grab me viscerally,” he says. ”Those who take my breath away and keep me in the moment.”
Ron’s play list:
“Can’t Stop Thinking About You,” Martin Sexton
“Out of the Woods” and “Helena,” Nickel Creek
“In a Graveyard,” Rufus Wainwright
“I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” Frank Sinatra
“Just For Now,” Imogen Heap
“Polly Came Home,” Robert Plant and Allison Krauss
“Porgy and Bess,” Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald
“Simple Gifts,” Yo Yo Ma with Allison Krauss
