the beginning...

I never thought I would blog, let alone have two blogs.

Music. Ahhh, what to say? I have always loved music, although I considered myself to be in a rut with it. Thank heaven for friends, right? Through them my eyes have been opened to the grand world of "songs beyond the top 40"... I have learned of songs and lyrics that have been a soothing balm, a background to my efforts at writing, a smile, a tear, an outlet for frustration and sometimes even a hope.

This is my casual attempt to share some of that. You don't have to love them or even like them. You can hate them. This isn't about convincing anyone of the music. Mostly, this is an outlet for me, in all honesty. Sometimes you'll get a poem I've written with it, a story behind the song, some wee fact about the artist or the lyrics, or a photo. Maybe I'll even share some of the writing I'm doing. (If I can get the courage, that is!)

And right now, before anything else, I give a shout out to Rhianna, Tommy, Mr. Lightning, Brock and the many others that send new tunes my way. You're a marvy bunch and I give credit to you for a lot of what I'll post.

Please, feel free to comment and give me suggestions... any suggestions.... but especially of what I should listen to next. What's on your playlist? What's inspiring you? I'm always up for that.

I'm drowning in the music... and I like it.
