Reflections of My Life... through music
Sitting here, listening to some of the music of times past,I'm reflecting. I'd love to be able to compose songs that, years from now someone,upon hearing the song, would FEEL the song and smile or sigh or even cry.
So many songs in my life affected me and helped to raise me, quite frankly. Some songs are as much who I am as some family members. Music was my muse,my amusement,my fun,and my therapy.
The lyrics leave a mark on me and on society. The block of music from a particular era, becomes that era in review.
My life was truly surrounded be many different styles, from Bluegrass and Country to Bubblegum and Hard/Acid Rock. Many, many songs bring back not just memories, but they return me to that period, to a particular episode in my life.
When I hear "Draggin' the Line"(Tommy James) or "One Toke Over the Line" (Brewer and Shipley)....I'm back in the kitchen with the transistor radio informing my family that my older sister's boyfriend had been killed ( he was on his way over Sunday Morning to see her) in a wreck. That was the first death that really disturbed me, personally. I ran to the woods with my dog at my heels...I just sat down on a patch of moss and cried and screamed. The aforementioned songs take me right back there to that time and place, so vividly.
There are the songs Daddy sang.."Walkin' the Floor Over You" ( and he sang it WHILE walking the floor, lol), "Ring of Fire" and many many others...those now take me back to that same kitchen and the recording playing is infused with my Daddy's voice, pushing Ernest and Johnny out of the song entirely.
Then there were the FUN songs....at the first note or two of "Tighter,Tighter" (Alive and Kicking), I'm back at the bluegrass fair with Donna,our pants hems muddy,hair soaking wet, riding the Super Himalaya. What a fun night! We were on TV that night and we saw The First Edition ( before it was Kenny Rogers AND The First Edition), ....and.... CITY BOYS flirted with us!!!! Others take me back to our rooms, with my friends and cousins dancing and trying to "let our backbone slip" Simon Says...lol...and memories of us flailing our arms up and falling on bed,giving up, because even at our young age, we could NOT keep up with CCR's "Travelin' Band".
Then there are the breakup songs.... oh my... "Sad Eyes" by Robert John...I'm right back in the field in the country. We're sitting in the back of a pick-up and he tells me SHE's back in his life. Sitting in my room and replaying that song over and over, with pillows rumpled so as to muffle my crying, I wallowed in the grief, the loss, the rejection. In later years a longtime love informed me he'd decided to marry another, and YES he'd proposed to me, but I wasn't ready....but I was surely not ready to hear his news. "Till I Can Make it on My Own" (Tammy Wynette) was the song to wallow to with this heartache....at work, in the back office...I turned up the volume and cried without trying to hold back the tears. That song now,as sad as it is anyway, still tugs at me wrenching my gut just a little.

I'm mainly known for my wit and being opinionated.
I was raised in Eastern Ky. and now live in Versailles in Central Ky. (world's best horse farms)
My musical tastes range from the Country/Bluegrass music that my parents enjoyed,the harder rock and Prine/Jerry Jeff Walker style that my brother collected and yes, Pop/Top 40 AM and even Bubblegum that my sister and cousins exposed me to. I particularly am a fan of the "One-hit-wonders" genre', lol.
My favorite 5-yr. span of music would have to be 1968-1972. ~ ~ ~
