...which immediately reminds me of a dear college
friend of mine, we attended
CalArts
together, she turned me onto
Ronnie Laws;
there's a big smile on my face because I'm
remembering our Friday afternoons on the balcony of
her dorm room overlooking the pool. We had shedules
where we didn't have classes on Fridays so they were
'our' day so part of that day consisted of sitting
and drinking, laughing, talking and of course
listening to music. My friend has a deep understand
and appreciation of
Jazz
and she shares her love of music and life, yes she's
a friend to this day not around as much as either of
us likes but that's where we're at right now. Anyway,
back to the music
Ronnie Laws,
Joe Sample,
Pat Metheny
and others she put in front of me, so to speak. I
listen to all of them and it reminds what a wonderful
gift music is, in whatever form. I love to share my
music and I love to receive from friends and family -
that's how I end up expanding my musical experience
and my personal library. I really enjoy legal,
digital downloads. Frankly, I really like having my
new music immediately and I want to own my music so
I'm not a fan of subscription based music services,
but that's just my preference. So, yes I love Apple's
iTunes store but then I'm a
Mac
loyalist for years now. So, you'll see music
references throughout my blog. I'm the type of person
who if I hear a music clip on say,
HBO
I like the song I'll search for the song on the
internet. I have pretty good luck searching by using
a partial lyric in quotation marks at
Google
and that usually takes me to the title of the song
and from there it's easy to source.
This same friend also put Jill Scott in front of me and she's amazing I really like Jill Scott she's a true poet who can use her pipes to sing her poetry where she shares encapsulated stories of her life. My friend knew that I would love Jill Scott because I'm also a poet and she knows how much I love music. Enjoy your day and all it's music.
