music

music... i love music... you can probably tell that from all the lyrics that i post...you really don't realize how much you love music until you have been away from it for a while... particularly the type of music that you LOVE. i have been listening to a lot of music lately that is outside of what i normally listen to, and i must say, i have totally enjoyed it, but when you "come home" to the music you love, your heart smiles and it just feels good!

music is always there for you. it's there when you are in a good mood or a bad mood. it's there when you are pissed off and angry, or when you are floating on cloud nine. it can help you through a situation you are facing... and i will say, there are times that the type of music you are listening to can be detrimental to the situation you are going through... but the majority of the time, music is always there for you and can be your friend!!

i'm sitting at work, on a sunday (we are closed) and i have my music playing and no one around to bother me, and it's lovely. plus, last night i was able to talk to one of my "music buddies" and it was so cool to have this conversation with someone that if anyone overheard it, they would think we are speaking greek!! here's a sample:

me - yeah, so, i threw in 11-13-97 the other day at work, man what a show
mb - really, what was the opener?
me - chalkdust
mb - sweet
me - yeah, it was tight, nice segues...
mb - how was the setlist
me - it was sick my soul was on there also, nice tight yem with a vocal jam
mb - nice!

so, i'm sitting here listening to Widespread Panic from 10/31/03 ... nice show.. some ramone's covers, nice special guest, plus it's dark and bluesy... kinda like me... i'm loving every stinking minute of it.... for those of you that know of panic, here is the set list....
