When I was a baby, my mother told me that I loved to watch the trees blowing in the wind.
Thus, I think the wind was my first lullabye.
My mother sang us many lullabyes and songs, this is the one I always remember.
My father sang to us too. One song I will always remember was Barbara Allen.
My mom had tons of albums. She had a lot from Herb Alpert. This is a little newer
of a song than most I remember, but this was pretty famous.
This is probably one of the most quintessential disco songs there is!
I started out with Classic and Hard Rock, but at the ends of my teens Hair Metal
was in full swing, including the crazy MTV videos.
I had to listen to kids music again, but I was still a metal head!
Through mostly the 1990's, Grunge and Alternative Music took over.
The generally accepted king of that era was Kurt Cobain. Sadly, he took
his own life in 1994.
In 2000, Linkin Park released Hybird Theory. It's been over 20 years and I still listen
to them almost every day. The lead singer, Chester Bennington sadly took his own life in 2017.
During this time period, I have found other music that is important to me. There are three things,
and the first is that I discovered the haunting beauty of Native American Spirit Flute Music.
I've been to the ocean three times in the last 15 years, and that is music to my ears.
I have one grandson whose name is Cormac, which means Raven in Gaelic.
He has a little sister on the way, due in August, and her name is Corva,
which is the derivative of the female name for Raven in Latin. I have always loved ravens,
and we have at least one around where I live that I hear almost every day.
