Music Helps Me

@ethanmcconkey
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.

Enjoying the 1999 concert of the 3 tenors in Vienna. I do make the most of youtube.

Not sure how I missed this topic since it had been around for a while. I was in a blue grass gospel group for about 20 years. We would practice every Tuesday night. I could have a bad day and be feeling terrible, but after a night of playing and singing, I was in a much better mood both mentally and physically. I especially love this time of year with all the Christmas carols. In church this morning, the kids presented their Christmas program. After lunch today, I found my Christmas music and sang for about 45 minutes. Nothing better for the soul, the mind and the heart!

Along this line, I just have to share a little about our church service this morning. The Choir presented their Christmas Cantata. It was bible readings followed with a musical selection then another bible reading, music selection, etc. The fastest hour I ever spent. So meaningful and relaxing. I hope they have it on YouTube as they do place the weekly church services there. I want to hear it again.

@marvinjsturing I agree with you . I sang in church and solo,s on our contata ? I love Blue Grass Gospel being from the east coast . I do same put music on and sing away . Good for you

It is good to read your posts. Keep on truckin.

I agree with you @parus, Youtube offers a marvelous selection of all types of music from Chuck Berry to the 3 Tenors! Happy listening. (If you ever have an opportunity to see the movie/documentary about Pavarotti, you will enjoy it.)

My church also had a Cantata yesterday,@rmftucker. I agree that it was wonderful! If your church's Cantata does appear on Youtube, I would love to see/hear it!

@peach414144 You also Merry Christmas Peach bless you and all of us on our pain joirney
