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.

  1. 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.

  2. I 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.
