Sorry Ma’am, but I don’t like your music

For me, the Holiday and Christmas Season begins when I change the music on my website. In the drawer with jazz and soul, out with the Christmas music I like. A different song for each page, for my own amusement more than anything.

Barbra Streisand- Fired Up!

To see ordinary people and celebrities using their voice to cope with our troubled times, gives me so much hope for the future. I feel I belong, I feel I am one of them -even so, my voice is more of a whisper in the blogging world. 

Bye, Aretha

When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.

Smart Ass Tuesday

The Piano Man in Manchester

A pianist who casually started playing on a piano outside Forsyth Music Shop on Deansgate, Manchester earlier this month. It’s not clear whether he’s busking for money, or just having a jam, but he wows passers-by with an incredible medley of tunes ranging from rave classic Insomnia by Faithless to Dr. Dre’s g-funk banger Still D.R.E.

The Times they are Changing

 

Come gather ’round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you
Is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’

Today I fell in love with Rap

Rap, the one music style I never liked and never listened too, today I took my time and listened to the rapper Eminem for the first time.  I am not too old to be open-minded; art comes in many forms and ways, some of them I might not understand.
