A Little Friday Gratitude – Music Makes Me Merry

We’re mainly listening to “I’m a Little Teapot” and “The Itsy-Bitsy Spider” around here since Julia thinks they have a better rhythm for dancing, but we enjoy putting in some CDs and hitting “Random” as well. We’ve got a six-disc changer which means we each get to choose three

I love music. I love to have it playing and to sing along with it while I’m cleaning or cooking or just hanging out. The only thing I can’t do is fall asleep listening to it

My cop comes from a very musical family. His Mother wrote music, played the organ and her 5 boys all played several instruments. She even trained them all to sing parts and for years they sang together all over the place. Too bad they didn’t become as big as The Osmonds. The cop LOVES music – each time we’re listening, however, you better watch out if it’s a lively tune because he’ll be tapping his hands like a drummer. Many a time when we were dating he’d go from holding my hand to drumming on my arm or leg!! Our tastes, luckily enough for us, is very similar. We love Big Band, 50′s & 60′s, classical, church music and easy listening. I know, I know a bit old fashioned but it works for us. We enjoy going to musicals and love Broadway shows when they come in town.

Having music in your home is awesome. It can help you clean and scrub, lift you up, comfort you and help you show love. Music is certainly sweet to the ears when you love it – so keep the notes playing.

I could come live with you guys. I like everything from what he likes to what you like. I could go from Steppenwolf’s Magic Carpet Ride to Depeche Mode’s Personal Jesus in a whiplash second and keep on trucking to the Go-Gos or Rick Springfield before skipping on over to some old school country! Music is such a huge part of my life. I’m in the middle of writing a blog post about it too!

Glad you two found something that works for both of you. Love tends to works things out, doesn’t it?

We are all eclectic over here and listen to anything from 30′s blues, 40′s swing, 50′s country and early rock, 60′s BEST rock, 70′s country and rock and blues, 80′s pop and country, 90-now everything – except rap. Oh yuck, yuck, spit-out-the-word-rap yuck. Alison Krause (absolute fav), Norah Jones, Plain White T’s, Coldplay, some current favs. Kids have brought us into their music and that’s been fun. Keeps us from gettin’ too old and out of touch. We literally have some of just about everything. Love Opera, too!

HAH! Do we like the same music?! HAH!

i’m a big music junkie too…and like you i love everything from the 80′s. I grew up with parents who had supremely different tastes in music (my dad was classic rock and instrumental, where my mom was all about the country), i think has allowed me enjoy listening to almost anything.

how are you feeling, has the sickness left the building?

I love pretty much all kinds of music, but my preference lies in rock and metal.

My boyfriend doesn’t own a CD, and has never owned one in his life. :O Which is a baffling concept for me. He doesn’t dislike music, he’s just not fazed one way or another, lol.

My Dh and I enjoy the same music for the most part. Even tho we’re relatively young for it we love Big Band, classic rock, opera, classical music, country, blue grass, jazz. I could go on and on. We’ve recently started listening to Latin music too. He’s 61 I’m 53 so we’ve got lots of “musical eras” to pick from. Have to say, most music from the 80′s onward doesn’t get us goin’!
