mmm music: )

Music is something that is in my everyday life and I really enjoy. It's amazing to me how you can be in a store, listening to the radio, or in a restaurant and a song comes on and it can take you back in time to a specific moment in time and remind of of people who may or may not be in your life anymore. Some examples of this for more is the song "King of the Road" always makes me think of my Grandpa Blake who died a few years back, he always thought he was the King of the road in his big pick up truck. Many songs remind me of my boyfriend Phil in different times in our relationship some examples are "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, or "Would you go with me" by Josh Turner, or "Moon River", or "The Eye of the Tiger". There are so so many songs that remind me of him. When I hear the song the James Taylor song "You've Got a Friend" I think of my brother. The list just goes on and depending on what I'm listening there are lots of memories that can run through my mind while driving or just doing the daily tasks of life.

Going along with the music theme of this blog...I have heard a lot of people talking about Pandora the online personalized radio. I had never tried it until today and now I know why everyone is talking about it! It is so cool! All you have to do is type in a favorite artist or song and Pandora makes a personalized radio station for you with similar songs and artists. It's fun not knowing which song will come up next. The quality is so clear and it's nice to work on my homework without having to make my own playlist or be annoyed with the radio. Yay for Pandora Radio: )
