Music Freewrite
I don't know what my life would be like without music. Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I can hear my Grandma singing Say, Say oh Playmate and case era sayra. She always rocked and sang and rubbed my ear. Papa would turn on the record player. I have the record player to this day. It is one of the old hutch players that sits on the floor and has a record player and 8 track and a radio in it. Papa would turn on his favorite counrty music and he would put me on his feet and I would hold on to his metal hooks he had for hands and we would dance all around the living room. Everytime I traveled anywhere with my dad, if it was 2 miles or 800, we would sing the old hymns that I learned from church. My grandad would play his bango and sing to me everytime I went to his house. I sat and sang on the front porch swing with Mama. My boss always asks what I am singing to myself when I walk down the hall at work. I started singing in the church when I was 2 years old. I am still singing today. I love all music, from the hymns of Fanny B. Crosby to Johnny Cash to AC/DC. I love it all! I am a true believer in music can set the mood. I have over 120 gig of music on my ipod all in catigories of mood. I have music playing all the time. I enjoy even just listening to the radio to see what is new. The first thing that my mind goes to in a movie is the music. I have music for my workouts, music to calm me, music for fun, music to energize me, just to name a few. I have never been to a concert. I would love to go to one sometime and get the full experience of a great band. I would never be able to pick who I wanted to hear. I always have music with me. When the radio won't come in and the Ipod is dead I have music in my heart.

I am a big music fan. When I am down I just listen to some music to keep me from being sad. I had to listen to some music this morning. I think it is like therapy for me.
ReplyDeleteI love music too but I cannot sing. Well, I can sing it's just not a sound anyone wants to hear. I have always wished that I could sing well. Music can be so motivating for me. I love to crank up the radio when I am cleaning house or working out. It just makes it seem like it's not so much of a chore.
