Oh, dear...LOL This is gonna need a separate blog all unto itself. I was on the phone with Leah this AM and she reminded me of some seriously oldie/moldy/goldies that we shared WAY back when.
She said how listening to Bob Segar always reminds her of me. I can understand that. When we started this relationship 30+ years ago, I had Bob Segar on vinyl. It was that, or cassettes. 8-tracks were LONG out the window....kinda. I think Jody still had Ted Nugent on 8-track somewhere. LOL Anyhoo!!!...lemme try to remember.
Bob Segar..right. I was never a huge fan of his until I saw him in concert in the early 80s!? But Leah and I listened to those records, yes vinyl, all those years ago while trying to get her two children asleep. Yeah, they were rockers from an EARLY age!! LOL I'm sure that's my fault, too.
Def Leppard...oh, my. That's driving-into-Raleigh music for me, now. Years ago, when I would travel back/forth to Raleigh alot I had the CD of some of their earlier works, and then Meg bought Vault/Greatest Hits for me. Almost without fail, when we took a left off of I-95 onto I-40, that meant we were closer to Raleigh, and nearly done with the driving for the day, Meg would reach over and put that music in for me to drive that last few miles. It re-energized me enough to get me off the road safely for the day. I don't listen to it as much these days, but I did take time to watch/listen to the Crossroads episode with Taylor Swift/Def Leppard. It was a good show and I enjoyed seeing all them again.
Canon-in-D...ahhhh....LOL That's all that music is to me, aaahhhhh. Slow down...breathe...let your mind relax. There are nine goZILLION meditation musics out there, and none of them work as well as this one does for me. The rise and fall of it are without equal, for me, anyway. I'm sure it would bored some others people to tears, but it's truly my fav.
I don't think I listen to music when I'm sad....or when I'm bored. When I'm sad, I try to find my way OUT of the sadness. Sometimes that's not possible and I have to chant/litany my way out of it. That usually works better for me. When I'm bored, I find something to do. I got ALOT to do!!! There never seem to be enough hours in the day for me.
Don't get me wrong. I got a buttLOAD of music saved to YouTube....I mean a LOAD!!! LOL But I also have some episodes of favorite TV shows....and some movies. Music speaks to the eclectic in me, though. I like alot of it, some of it I purely detest, and some of it I can take or leave. I get that from Momma and Daddy, I think. I know music has always been a huge part of our lives, forever and ever, it seems.
Whew...that's alot of writing so far today. I think I'll take a break from this, and phone calls/MADD...and bake at least a quiche, and maybe an apple pie, who knows?! LOL
I love Def Leppard!
ReplyDeleteAs far as the relaxing, meditation stuff... this Hawai'an dude named Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole (that poor kid, learning to write his name...) knocks me out like a sleeping pill.
