@ethanmcconkey Music has always played a big part in my life. I like so many genres of it, and have a large collection of CDs. They get used in my craftroom, so I have to get up every so often to change out a disc. My husband ripped many of them along with many of his, onto a stick that plays randomly in my car. Most of the music has imprinted on me, and a piece might take me back to where I was/with who/places when it plays. Yesterday in my car coming back from the closest larger town [a half hour drive] I had Chakra Suite by Anugama playing, normally something reserved for meditation. But I realized it was perfect, driving into and through very dense fog on the mountain passes. It took the nervous edge off driving narrow lanes with large trucks.

@ethanmcconkey I was just getting ready to put Pavarotti on. I love to play it loud. 😄

Ah music.....even though my hearing has taken a nose dive over the years....I still love jazz. My daughter’s house across the breezeway is completely wired...including the garage...for sound. We have jazz on so much you can’t help but feeling jazzed.

My son’s home is the same...different taste in music...always upbeat. We’ve danced a little in the public streets when we hear music...well me and the grandkids do.....people love it. I used to notice when riding in elevators how some people would hum when the canned music came on.

You can’t help but feel upbeat when you hear music...that’s why it’s on in the gym and people are plugged into earbuds while exercising or walking. When my hearing was better I used to fall asleep with my favorites. Calming and energizing.....the language of the world.

FL Mary......hummmmmmm

@ethanmcconkey I do love music, many types, but I listen mostly in the car and when I am exercising. One of the few good things about hearing aids is that I can stream my music from my playlists on my iPhone right into my hearing aids. I do not put my head in the water when I am water-jogging so I jog to the beat of the music! For that my favorite is Latin music, good beat. Other times I like more relaxing music. Now of course you can get Bluetooth earbuds so that would be possible without hearing aids too. As I tell my son you could probably almost guess what's playing by how vigorously I am exercising or water-jogging! I like to tell him I dance up the lane in the water too. I'm not sure if he believes me or not! I do not of course. If I am on the treadmill and Neil Diamond's America comes on my speed automatically increases.
