Well, hello. I’m still testing this.

Music Notes

A blog, generally about music, usually for projects hosted by Jeff

. I may also write about the 48-Hour Media Prompt Challenge if I don't feel like writing a story or poem inspired by the given song. Other bits of poetry or different topics of discussion might end up here as well.

This is the poem which earned my blog its green ribbon, courtesy Brian K Compton

"Renewal"

I love this! And I love the selfie with Eeyore! I hope you leave it there.

My granddaughter also likes Squishmallows. And I love donkeys and so does she. And Eeyore is just a hoot, lol.

What a great read. I enjoyed this very much.

Thank you for sharing another awesome piece of yourself.

As I get used to looking at other's blogs, I'm often amused at some of their thoughts. For this entry, part of what you wrote was, One thing I need to keep working on is patience, both here and in real life. I have the disruptive tendency to panic at the beginning of the month, spinning my wheels knocking as many things off my to-do list as quickly as possible, because I'm afraid something terrible will happen and I won't have a chance to do anything anymore.

I look at that in an entirely different way. Doing all that early on is front loading your schedule. What I mean is, getting things done early on so you can relax, or maybe concentrate on what may require more time, more resources. It can also be thought of as being pro-active, not reactive. Both of those are things I try to do on a day-by-day basis.

That's what Wikipedia says. It's not always dead on accurate either.

1993

That’s what comes of using Shazam for metadata. I’ve noticed they don’t always get the year of release correct. Thanks!

You are a very dedicated, super busy person! Good for you keeping up with all those writing contests. I'm just trying to keep up with daily things needing to be done right now. I guess "BARD'S-WITCH Bingo!"

And keeping up with "Invalid Item"

blog entries , not to mention crediting "Invalid Item"

is keeping me busy enough so far.

Yes, the songs have a similar voice. Here's what I found:

"Runaway Train" was released in 1993, not 2004, according to Wikipedia. The song "Runaway Trains" by Tom Petty, which is often confused with Soul Asylum's song, is actually an older song.

Thanks for sharing so much about how music has made an impression on your life. I think music speaks to our souls on the same vibrational levels our souls are, so certain music appeals to us, if that makes sense.

For me, I'm a big 80's fan. 80's music and the beats resonate with me. Duran Duran the big one from the 80's. I've enjoyed Stevie Nicks songs, mainly from the 70's and 80's. I really liked Dreams.

I believe musicians should be compensated for the work they produce. My husband has the family on an Itunes account which is great because we can listen to what we want and I think it's a fair price. My favorite is listening to live music - I think that's what really made my trips to Catalina Island for the 4th of July so special, is that USC marching band would open the golf cart parade. When I was stationed in Germany I saw several acts live including Madonna, Fleetwood Mac, Guns and Roses and Queenriche. Live music just stirs the soul. When I'm in the car, I like listening to JackFM out here in So Cal.

Back in the late 80's early 90's when I was stationed in Germany it was my mission to build the ultimate stereo set so I'd go to different stores (AAFEES) around the country buying pieces here and there I have a set of Pioneer speakers and Bose speakers that would great and they're over 30-35 years old. I've got a pre-amp, power amp all hooked up to apple device, but I've got a vinyl player, a CD player, and an old cassette player. When I play music through my amps and speakers like that, it still sounds good.

Music has always played a big part in my life. My mother's side of the family were very musical--played instruments, my mother even played the bass.

In the younger days, I loved going to see my favorites on stage with my friends in Boston. Some pretty memorable times indeed. I got to meet some... got guitar picks and even a drum stick.

Souvenirs of days gone by. Now my hearing is fading on me from all the speakers' amps roaring in my ears.

Cool video!

Thanks for this view of a big part of your world.

Hi Kare, i can’t help but feel concerned when WdC members have cause to be anxious. I can understand it to a degree and do my utmost not to feel obliged/forced/ compelled to enter everything which is offered. WdC can be addictive and we need to understand that. It’s quite refreshing when one decides to have a month off— that is of course not including the Contest Challenge— after all I’ve been doing it for years!

I feel overwhelmed by contests this month so I'll have to be more careful of deadlines.

In response to "Rude (synopsis inspired by song)"

I'd never heard of the song. Very catchy. Video well done. Simple lyrics; simple song.

I seldom do these challenges because 1. I don't hear about them in time or 2. They don't force me to write and I need to be inspired if there's a deadline. And lastly, 3. I write so much regardless.
