My New Adventure


Drum roll please..........

My music training has begun!  I'm immersing myself in MUSIC.  I haven't willingly listened to music since I was 15 and obsessed with replaying the cassette soundtrack to Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves over and over and over.  Everything I do.....I do it for YOU.......

For 20 years I have avoided music like the plague.  It was noisy, distracting and got in the way of communication with people.  I never imagined I would WANT to listen to music again.

But now I am bionic.  And it is time to integrate music into my soul.  I won't lie.  It's hard.  How anyone can understand lyrics is beyond me.  But I'm beginning to learn this new language and I'm excited about it! 

Please, share with me what songs you want me to listen to.  What song would you want to introduce to a person who hasn't truly heard music for 20 years?  I'm listening.....

I am SO EXCITED for you! I have over 500 CDs that we can go through. Better yet, I'll make you a mixed tape ;)

Blake, I knew you would choose that one. Evan, haha!

Kristel, I love Josh Groban. Here is one of his songs, You Raise Me Up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oni0tO_HN30 It doesn't have him singing but the lyrics.

Another Groban song. I Believe. It is Christmas song though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4ez0cgmrRE&feature=fvst

Christina Perri - A Thousand Years

This has nothing to do with music but I thought I would share anyways. Tyler just LOVED playing with Joshua on Monday. He hasn't stopped talking about his new friend. I am so glad that he gets to see him at Stephanie's house. Thanks for letting him go to the pre-school!
