Whatever the day is in this windy April morn, I still have the urge to put on a pair of thigh high red boots and sing.
It matters not, day, time, or style of music, I will be singing.
Recently there was a thread on Facebook about what twelve albums you would always travel with, and it stirred up my angina.
Well let me think about this? I took a stroll to my album pile, and looked through a few, that have been with me, for forty or fifty years. Would these be on my list? I guess so, I still have them, and my Hart has a few. ( I think he has my original Beatles first album, and maybe a few more.)
It is always hard to decide what to carry with you.
So here is a list and trust me, I could go on and on....
Eat A Peach by Almond Brothers, gosh even typing this brings back so many memories, and I smell pot!
Abby Road by The Beatles, I think of Susan and Paula
Crosby, Stills, Nash 1969 sitting on that couch cover, I still love all these songs( huge crush on Graham Nash)
Tea For The Tillerman by Cat Stevens, just the first notes of these songs, I have to grab my chest.( I also have his music as a Muslim Man, he is anointed with a gift, I think he is now called Yusuf and I love him)
Sweet Baby James by James Taylor, cried so hard when I saw him in concert, thought Jesus was going to take me up, right then!! I think that is how angels must sound!
Captain Fantastic by Elton John, a great album, and Reginald is my Captain!
Piano Man, by Billy Joel, I saw him on stage at JU, ( Jacksonville University) I swear, I feel like it was the gym, he was a baby and so was I. I looked at my friend and said, " Remember this night, it is historic!!"
Experience by Jimi Hendrix, oh my goodness, he burned up a guitar, how lucky we were to have him for such a short period of time.
I cannot choose, what about all my Motown?
Little Anthony and The Imperials
The Supremes
Smokey Robinson, I wanted to marry!
Temptations

Leslie Gore

Connie Frances
Bobby Vinton

RoseMary Clooney
Patti Page
Perry Como

Folk Music, Gospel Music, New Music
The original cast albums of Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar are in my album pile, I guess they stated my love of musicals, who knows?
Jackson Brown, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Barbra and Bette,.
Country music has always been in my wheel house, from Little Jimmy Dickens, The Carter Family, and Loretta to Carrie and Keith Urban.
Pop music, Boy bands, Prince!!
I cannot choose what to take, I choose all.
I choose to sing Christmas carols twelve months of the year, and woke up this morning to children's songs, that Mrs.Nail taught me.
Music heals me, breaks my heart, sets my feet to tapping and often shakes my booty! I have no shame, I will sing and dance at the drop of a hat, or the turn of the record.
Whatever Lola wants, I am with her?him? oh heck, who cares, just put on the red boots and belt it out!!
