Music

I love music.  I've said for years that music is in my soul.  I have a very eclectic taste in music and enjoy a wide scope of genres...from jazz, classical, opera, rock, alternative, blues, broadway, big band, folk, world, (a LITTLE BIT of) country (..and I'd say mostly bluegrass and "old" country rather than the new fangled country).  So, if someone would have told me 10 years ago that I'd be a Willie Nelson fan I would have told them they're full of crap.  But,....here I am today..and I'm becoming a BIG Willie fan.  Imagine that!!  What I enjoy about his music is how "musical" it is.  Willie has a sense of what music is all about.  He conveys very well...emotion and perspective through his music.  He doesn't have an operatic voice...but it's distinctive and lyrical and therefore... brings a sort of freshness to the music he plays.  He's a musician AND an artist.

Music has the ability to communicate deep, meaningful emotions.  It is a medium that has no boundaries and has it's own universal language.  It can evoke the same emotion in a Russian as well as  a Chinese person...a black person as well as a white person.  It's why it's so powerful and so loved..and such a part of life.  So...today I take a moment to relish the proposition that I have a great collection of music..and I have the opportunity to continue to have even more exposure to great music, both old ground breaking genres and new, innovative music that will continue to flow from the creative minds of the up and coming generations.
