Let the Music Play
“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”
Plato
Back in the day
I was a young’un then
You’d know the sort
Being born back when
Youth seems too short
Why grow up so fast
Yearning and learning
My fate not yet cast
Yet, ideas are churning
I listened to music
I was a girlie girl
Loved dolls and things
A head full of curls
I was a tomboy too
Loved bikes and things
A head full of curls
I listened to music
Loved trees and things
Ha, Ha, you can’t get me
My fort-branches and leaves
Yeah, this is still me
I listened to music
Loved music and things
My transistor radio
Discovered rock and roll
Times that fed my soul
I listened to music
Loved music and things
Discovered rock and roll
Stereos, boys, and cars
Times that fed my soul
I listened to music
Sally Sue, our 1964 Impala SS, a real charmer!
Loved music and things
Discovered rock and roll
Concerts, men, and cars
Times that fed my soul
Hairstyles change
I listened to music
Yes, our cars have names. This is Blue. a 1964 Galaxie, which is our newest addition. My husband, Paul, is the happy driver!
Love music and things
Discovered rock and roll
Golden years, family, and cars
Methinks a bedraggled world
Takes time to heal the soul
Listen to the music
You can't gp wrong

Pretty much anything by Ella Fitzgerald. I love the old jazz vocalists.

I remember this music gem, Franci, and my
…………………….
Sausage roll,
That fills a holes,
For the soothing soul,
From rock 'n roll.
…………………………..
But have you ever spared a thought for all those songwriters who spend all their lives composing, just to spend their after-lives de-composing? 🤣😂🤣

I don't like Muzak either. IMO, it's just background noise, which I believe that's the intent. I like most types of music, some more so than others.

Who found out that nothing can capture a heart like a melody can? That's why I thank you for the music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dcbw4IEY5w

I like many forms of music, dependant on mood, but I hate Muzak. So often it drives me out of places rather than entices me into the establishment.

Franci\ud83d\udc1dEugenia Hoffman, beBee Brand Ambassador- this is an interesting buzz. Right now, I am preparing a buzz on the role of neuroscience in behaviors such as leadership behavior. What science findings state is that when people listen to music they tend to produce more because music has proven its value in bonding people together. More pronounced effect is when people in sing in groups because they bond more and a sense of belonging develops. Keep listening to the music,Franci
