This is my first day presenting MUSIC MONDAY ... I thought it would be fun to talk about some music I like and have liked throughout the years ... I thought I would begin with Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. I have enjoyed their music for years, read autobiographies on the band, attended concerts etc ... I find myself gravitating towards their music when I need a feeling of "Home" ... I cannot pass up any of their songs on the radio, while driving in the car ... I have a few CDs in the car, in case I cannot find anything on the dials to my liking etc ... Love their sound ... Love the rhythms ... Love the voices ... I will be a forever fan ... What type of music speaks to you?
It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
I like Fleetwood Mac too! But my favorites would be Abba and Dianna Krall. I could go on and on, but let's pick these too now. :)
