30 Days of Thankful: Day 8

And yes, it's my mistake. That album is called Sonic Highways.

Sounds of Milan

Wordless Wednesday but there is music!

AAM Monday

Ok, this is about me and someone else. That someone, to be specific, is my first grandchild, the son of my first child(son). It was nerve wracking to be at work that day as the birth seemed imminent but slow to happen. I was in Annapolis, and the event was to be in DC which is a good drive at the best of times. Fortunately, traffic back then was not the hellish nightmare it is now .

I certainly didn't want to miss seeing the child when it was born but I also had ticket with a few of my friends to see the Subdudes up in Baltimore. I agonized all day about what I might be doing...would the baby be born in time? would I miss the concert? yada yada yada Then finally the call came and off to DC I went. Seeing the new baby was wonderful in itself, seeing a tired Mother brought back memories of my times giving birth, but seeing the joy and wonder in my own son's eyes was the real gift.

Then dancing, dancing, dancing and singing our heads off that night...what a night. The strange part is that the Subdudes drifted apart and then got back together. It was only last year that the coincidence of a major life event took place. One of my friends died after a heart transplant and a mutual friend and I had tickets for a Subdudes concert in Annapolis the day of the service. She had been with me years ago when we danced for the new grandchild. After that servie, she was with me as we wept through the music thinking of our friend, now gone, but knowing she was out of pain and at peace. The ebb and flow of life on musical notes.

Flashback Friday

Well this one isn't mine, but I haven't been in the mood to do scanninng lately. I once used to have a specific time of day to do it, but that habit has fallen by the wayside. I seriously dislike scanning but not enough to pay someone to do it for me. Typical.

Evelyn Thaw might be happy at the piano, but thank you I'll have my music via Brite Revolution. Trust me, you'll enjoy the music which you can freely download.

Stand By Me

This actually came from my dh via another friend. Enjoy!

Blogerfest Fave -Dance till you Drop

Favorite song?

Drewzel aka the woman of many blogs decreed it was a Blogerfest Fave day.

Ok, I looked for Stevie Wonder live WITH the intro to You are the Sunshine of my Life which is a an absolute l.o.v.e. of mine, but no luck with a good version. ( I need to get that intro as a ringtone.) That was the song I sang to my 2nd son after he was born. By that time in our marriage we had a kickass stereo something that was missing for chick #1 who didn't get music shaking the rafters till he was about 5.

So I debated between the strung out Clapton with Cocaine but decided on this one which always says Pure Addictive Passion to me. What else but Layla. Oh, and look at God smile at the beginning of this one. Be still my heart.
