The Music of my Soul

I love music.

I REALLY love music.

ALL types of music

Any TIME Any PLACE!

I don't know how or why my taste in music is so passionate and varied.

I can't read music, play an instrument or carry a tune.

I can only figure that the Lord gifts certain people to sing.

And others to transform black dots and lines into melodies

And others, like myself to have an intense appreciation for the music others make.

I grew up in a household where my Dad taught me to Jitterbug

whilst listening to Glen Miller, Cab Calloway, Tommy Dorsey and Duke Ellington.

And my Mom, nearly 20 years younger than my Dad would turn up

the Hi Fi Radio and listen to

BeBop and Rock and Roll -

Chubby Checker, Elvis, Little Richard and The Supremes.

Growing up during the infancy of racial integration, sometimes the only "hip"

radio stations played Rock and Roll.

And during the seventies the R&B stations.

I have my Mom to thank for my very first record album
when I was 5 or 6 years old.

"A Child's Introduction to the Classics"

where I listened to Peter and the Wolf

and The Sorcerer's Apprentice

musically narrated by Tchaikofsky,
over and over and over,
which gave me a passion for

Classical music

(I remember as a teen,

being brought to tears, sobbing over Boradin's Nocturnes).

So its no wonder I could be found at a Christian Rock Concert

last Friday with my 2 daughters.

... And we had a BLAST rocking praises to the Lord!!

Just take a look!
