Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. follow your heart Q. What’s your greatest flaw? A. I have been told I can be a bit blunt and impatient. Q. If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your days, what would it be? A. That would be a horrible fate but I make a pretty good pasta sauce Q. What 3 personal qualities are most important to you? A. Honesty, sense of the absurd, curiosity Q. What are your 5 favorite songs? A. I still like the Beatles, but I am a classical music person - so Bach, Beethoven, Dvorak are my favorite composers. Recently, I have become very fond of 15th century music - much of which has been revived from Ferdinand Columbus's collection. Learn more about Carol Delaney
