“In my hard drive now it’s approaching 270,000 songs on MP3. It’s a true Smithsonian, because there is pertinent artwork for every single one,” he says “It goes back over century. It goes back to 1909 – and you might ask, ‘What do you have from 1909?’ I’ll tell you. I have the original Dixieland jazz band, which was recorded by RCA on those cylinder records. All of that stuff was eventually converted to MP3s. It’s not the clearest, but it’s neat to have stuff from 106 years ago. It’s a massive collection of music, I have soundtracks from great, classic films. I have a lot of stuff from Varèse Sarabande, a wonderful label and that’s all the classical stuff Beethoven and Mozart and Rachmaninoff. “The collection goes into every small corner of music – and what I go back to more often than anything is my Henry Man-
cini stuff. Especially the beatnik era, the Peter Gunn stuff from the 50s, man I would have made a good beatnik. I would‘ve had a goatee, big, dark glasses, I woulda had a beret on and end up doing impromptu poetry. I always was fascinated with that era – if I was just born about 10 years earlier I would have been right in there. But of all the huge music I have – it’s about a year and a half of music — out of all of that, I still go back to Henry Mancini and the Beatles.” Cummings is not a big fan of country music, but his collection does include the genre. “I have some pertinent country, especially some from the golden era 1959 to 1963 when they had all those cross-over records. And I still have a lot of hip hop and rap, I love digital underground from San Francisco and I listen to Jay-Z, purely out of interest. I say to myself: ‘Wow. Does the anger disappear after $400 million? $500
million?’ “Unless that’s just your deal on records. But for somebody with the clout to rent the Louvre for the day – that’s still an awful lot of anger in those records. I hope I don’t sound too sarcastic but you know exactly what I mean.” His taste even runs to electronic music. “I like Skrillex, I like Deadmou5 – who is Canadian by the way. I like a lot of stuff. People think it’s nonsense, but it’s very hard to do. Skrillex was the one that turned me on to it with Deadmou5. I have every genre in my collection.” Tickets for Cummings’ stop in Penticton range from $97.50 to $110.50 and are available in person at the Valley First Box Office (at the SOEC) or at the Penticton and Wine Country Visitor Centre.
