A Brief Introduction

I am moved by music. The beat of it. The sound of it, line by line, note by note, and all compiled together. I am not a trained musician.  I played the saxophone in school, took piano lessons in college, and used to be able to read music. I sang in choir and musicals in high school & college, but I'll never be a soloist.  However, like most music lovers, that doesn't stop me from singing!

I am lucky enough to be employed somewhere with a boss that is also a music lover, and I play music from my iPod all day long. Any kind of music, whatever the mood strikes.  Bob Marley?  Sure, I've got that.  The Decemberists?  Oh yes, a favorite! The Rolling Stones, The Go-Go's, Dead Kennedys, Journey, Lucinda Williams, Vampire Weekend, Dierks Bentley? You bet. I'm not an elitist. I do not corner myself into limited genres, and I am always listening for something new. If I've not heard it, I'd love to.

(The Hazards Of Love I, The Decemberists)

The daily lyrics...just listen and more than likely you'll be able to guess my mood.
