Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body.  -- Oliver Wendell Holmes 1809-1894, American Author, Wit, Poet –

 

            I was having a difficult time figuring out a topic for today’s rant.  I don’t feel so good and everything is just kind of BLAHHHHH.  Then I figured, why not one of my very favorite topics .. MUSIC!!!!!  Music is life, as far as I’m concerned.  There are as many songs and rhythms as there are feelings needing expressed.

            Music can give us comfort or even courage.  It can be your best friend.  It can be the romance that is missing or the way to get your weekend party started.  Soothing, silly, or enraging, music is my outlet.  You will probably notice that I listen to just about everything … so far on my notes I’ve listened to Green Day and Shania … I think that shows my eclectic taste.  I am listening to Shania again, oh well.  It was there.             

           My favorite group is, no shocker, BonJovi.  These five guys, YES Jon there are five in spite of any existing contracts Mahwaaahahahaha, are incredible musicians, men, and performers.  Gorgeous isn’t even a strong enough word for these guys.  My BF and I went to see them in concert.  I promise, those seats were a waste.  No one was sitting down!!!! 

From start to finish, they rocked. If you ever get the chance, these guys are worth more than the price of admission.  Watching one DVD, Jon emptied a whole puddle of sweat from his shoes backstage, and he’d just had them on for a couple of songs.  He works his sweet ASS off.  No wonder he is in such great shape.

I have been singing since I could talk.  I performed in public the first time when I was five at a lakeside gathering.  The band was on a flat bed truck.  The singer picked me up and we sang “Delta Dawn”.  He said with all the dancing I was doing I deserved some credit.  For my birthday that year all I wanted was the tape of Dolly Parton and Porter Wagner.  How many 5 year olds do you know crying for a tape instead of a toy?

In 6^th grade the music teacher asked me to sing “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”.  There were a few others singing solos, but they weren’t complete songs and when they were done they went to sit down … leaving me for last.  So here I was, a very tiny girl at the time, all alone on the floor of that big gym.  I got an ovation … and I was hooked even more.

Karaoke is a modern miracle and I love to use it to my advantage.  My mother said if they’d had that when I was a kid she would never have needed a babysitter.  LOL.  Guess she knew what I’d be doing.  I have to admit, I don’t like bars too much, but that is one way to get me in the door.

I have the privilege of singing at a wedding this spring and am very nervous and excited.  I haven’t really sung like this in quite some time.  Karaoke hardly counts since most of my audience is three sheets to the wind.  HEHEHE.

Music can mark pages in time or just make you feel good.  Some songs just seem to get to you weather anyone else understands it or not.  There are songs that I know I will remember forever.  Some songs take you back to specific time or remind you of a particular person.  It’s a strong force and one that I am glad to give in to.  That’s my rant.

Peace Out

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are so right BF. Music is such a strong and moving force.

I 2nd not only your thoughts on HUEY!!! MAKE HIM AN OFFICIAL MEMBER JON!!!! But also your recommendation to see them in concert. They are truly aweinspiring in person and one of the hardest working bands in rock and roll! You will not be disapointed!

aww, music...the big love of my life that is ever so soothing, encouraging, inspiring...and so many things more.

I can't live without music. There is not a day in my life that isn't filled with music one way or the other. I wake up in the morning and as soon as I jump out of bed I turn on the radio or put a cd on. When I go to uni, I have an mp3 player with me. When I work for uni or write or do whatever, I have music on. While i'm writing this I have music on.

It's just the one thing in my life that I can derive happiness and advice from if I can't get it from my family and friends. The music speaks to me, is a friend, there for me with advice or simply to listen to me when I need to talk, silently through my thoughts.

And as for concerts...better than listening to music in your home with candles lit everywhere is going out and see those artists you listen to perform their tunes live. There is nothing more exciting and touching at the same time. Seeing those people up on stage doing what they love and sharing their passion with everyone out there. It's amazing. I'm a concert junkie and in the past years I've been to dozens of shows, enjoying every single one of them.

But surely, those two Bon Jovi concerts i've been able to attend were and will always been particularly special. Being in a stadium with close to 80,000 people who love the music these wonderful artists perform just as much as you do and seeing the guys that write those fantastic songs in person up on that stage is something no one having experienced this will ever forget.

I agree with you. I love music and the thing about certain songs bringing up memories is so true. Every time I hear Brandy or Brown Eyed Girl, it reminds me of my mom and dad singing to me in the car as we went to Cleveland 9Lakewood) to visit my grandma and my cousins. It really is something that can soothe the soul or move you to tears.
