Music saves me again

Leave a comment

I was listening to some classic rock this early Saturday morning. And by early I mean right after midnight. And when I say some I mean a good 2 hours worth. So I had to put the headphones on because the volume was needed. It has raised my spirits so much listening and watching some old favorites on YouTube. I stumbled across a few concerts I actually attended back in the ’70s and 80s. Made the hair on my neck stand up remembering sleeping out overnight for tickets to some popular shows.

Music is something that I would enjoy commuting back and forth to work. Being I haven’t been doing that for a number of weeks I’ve gotten away from something that used to pick up my spirits greatly. But no more. Going to make it a part of every day to counter the realities of current life. Balance out the heartache with a few smiles, some vocals, and air drums and guitar. I hope I never feel too old to enjoy music and dance a bit.


Random Thoughts of the Day

  • Strange listening to thunder for the first time in a while.
  • A stressful weekend for a number of reasons. Hopefully, the coming week will be better.
  • I’ve managed to lose those few pounds I put on at the beginning of this quarantine.
  • The more I see the stress of current events building in people, the less I’m encouraged about our future.
