I got the Music in me!

As is the case with anything that I like, my taste in music runs the gamut as well. I like everything from jazz to classic rock to Christian praise and worship music to Indian flute music. And that is only a starting sampler. Tomorrow is Sunday so on the way to church I will pop in a CD of the Newsboys (my favorite Christian band from Australia) and enjoy listening to them while I drive to church. Depending on where I am going or what I am doing the music I listen to can help set the mood or get me in the right frame of mind for something I need to do. If I need to get pumped up about something I could listen to Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine for a latin beat that chases away the blues and gets the blood pumping. I love classic rock as well and spend a lot of time listening to 105.1 (KOOL-105) which plays a pretty wide variety of oldies. Everything from the Beatles, Tina Turner and Michael Jackson to Dire Straits and Earth, Wind and Fire. I really enjoy turning on that station and not being sure of which era they will hit me with. It might be the 60's, 70's or 80's. Or sometimes it can be a mixture of everything. When the radio has too many commercials or ads, I will flip to my CD player in the car and pick one of the six that are on the spinner.
I also found through my association with Boy Scouts that I enjoy Indian Flute music. I have several CD's of various artists playing this very special instrument. It is very soothing and restful and I have noticed that is what plays sometimes in the hospital where I work in the patients rooms. It provides a sense of rest and peace for them as well. I have an IPod that I listen to when I am walking or on my treadmill. It is easier to listen to the music without outside distractions or noises. Sometimes I have to turn it up a little to tune out my kids. I also play the piano and like listening to piano music on CD. Since those levels of playing are way past mine it is nice to just sit and listen to it for awhile. I also like real classical music. Composers like Beethoven, Bach and Mozart. When I am taking a hot bath or trying to read without too much background noise.
All in all my taste in music is pretty wide. Do I have a favorite? I don't think so because I like it all. Depending on the day of the week or the time of day. Wild and crazy to soft and relaxing, what a nice way to be. I think I will turn on some soft music to go to sleep by. Goodnight!
