There’s defiantly a song for every situation in life. At least there is in my life. I was watching a movie the other night “Elizabethtown” and it reminded me how great a sound track can be. As odd as it may be, I often relate moods, events, and emotions to music that I have in my library. Up there in the endless vastness of a brain that I have. I’d like to think of it being similar to my ipod, 50% full of music and 50% of other random facts to help me survive throughout the day.
I was pretty stoked to find a way to attach a playlist to the side of my blog. It’s a free playlist, so there isn’t a lot of selection of music to choose from, but I’m able to get some good jams into it. I’ll try to keep the playlist fresh and interesting. If anyone has some suggestions or a story to any of the songs they hear, please feel free to comment and let me know.
One aspect of music that I haven’t been able to enjoy for a while has been live music. For no reason other than the economics of it. Which, is a sorry reason looking back on it. I remember constantly going to concerts in high school and college. If there was someone playing within a 200 mile radius I wanted to see, I’d scrape the cash together and go see them. For some reason, I make a crap load more money now, but justify not being able to see live music cause I can’t afford it. Hummm, that’s actually one of my New Year’s resolutions, to see more live shows. Recently I went to a show in Santa Fe with Jamie and Pat. It was an eye opener to me; I really miss a good live show! The show was Joe Ely, Terry Allan, and Ryan Bingham in a storytellers setting. Now, not just any live show traveling through town. Good quality shows that I want to see. One less night of going out each month, a few less dinners dining out, should afford me the opportunity to go to any concert that I want to see. Who’s it going to be next? Someone good I hope.
