“We built this city. We build this city on Rock ‘N Roll.” Now that brings back many memories for me. I remember as a little boy I would fall asleep to the radio every night. I would lean over to the right side of my bed and hit the sleep button on my small brown clock radio. For the next 59 minutes all of the current songs would play me to sleep. Maybe this is where my love for 80’s music comes from. I loved music. I would memorize songs, dance to them, and I played drums (upside down popcorn tins) in the neighborhood band. If we were lip sinking to “Pour Some Sugar on Me” I would take lead vocals and rock my half Korean booty.
Maybe it was moving for the 3rd time or that whole puberty thing but I went through a long phase where I didn’t enjoy music in the same way. DJ Jazzy Jeff, Cocktail sound track, and the red vinyl jacket with lots of pockets. These were only some of the many things that music was about. Its what makes you feel, come alive, and enjoy life in a different way.
Only recently have I gotten back into music. And I contribute almost all of that to my wonderful wife. She is the queen of music. She has 1000s of CDs and can name all kinds of bands from many eras. I’m enjoying many different artist and want to begin sharing them with you. So be on the look out for new and old artists. My hope is we can all enjoy music together.
