I Love Music . . . and Birds

This morning as I visited my favorite blog, A Series of Lefts, I couldn't seem to put together any words to make a sentence. This happens to me a lot on this site - I try to give my all and give attention to the beautiful written words but I am torn away by the music. You see, my best friend has the best pallet of music. I sometimes type in her URL just to have her play list in the background of my environment.
For years, we have enjoyed the same type of genre and artists but I always seem to steer away from it for a couple of reasons; I never seem to have CD's or XM in my car so I'm forced to listen to the radio, and the people I live with are all about the fast dance stuff, and really when living with others I can't turn on my music and melt in the sounds as much as I use to. But this morning I did! I turned on her blog and melted in my love-seat and my heart raced and slowed to the tempo of McCain, Wells, Rice, Myer, and Johnson. This is the second best thing to sitting on a beach with only the waves, birds, and wind.
Then I created my own play list and added a few of my favorites Etheridge, La Montagne, Eels, and Broadfield. I added new stuff from the Soundtrack of House and sprinkled in some old favorites from Sting, Cash, and Counting Crows. Hope my play list can bring someone some much needed clarity and humbleness as A Series of Left did for me.

P.S. Some of you might know I like birds. I Love birds! So when I found this song by the Eels I was overjoyed. It's called 'I Like Birds'! Check it out at the bottom on the page!

Thanks for the 'Ode to Series of Lefts'...such a great blog if I do say so myself. What's funny is that I almost NEVER put on my playlist. Thanks for reminding me that I have great music I need to revisit. And thank you for yours! Anything by the Eels pretty much just makes me happy!!! It reminds me of that long lost summer cd you had long ago...hmmmm...where did that thing go? P.S. you've got to stop the muliti-postings days...I can't seem to catch up on all my comments bouncing around in my head!!! Love you!
