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 go 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.
