It's not a complete version, but it is a work in progress. For now it is mostly musical, people I need to see live before I die...Dwight Yoakam, Bob Seger, Steve Earle... these boys are getting older and I feel like my window of opportunity, to be right there in the same room as them pouring their heart out on stage, is closing.
These men wrote the music of my childhood. They are not just songs, but moments in time, real feelings, and true emotions. Music that someone wrote with pencil on paper... for a reason other than making money. Written and played by the hands of men and women who were taught or inspired by even greater musicians than themselves, who worked at their craft until their fingers bled. I just love it, I totally get it, I feel it, I can't get enough...
Don't get me wrong I enjoy and am "entertained" by modern music.... but I LOVE me some oldies, they get to me in a way the so-called hits of this day and age never will. I love the way good music makes me feel, I want to feel that way all day long... I hope my kids feel this way about music, that they don't fall for the "disposable" music that comes and goes, but they feel their way to the hits of their heart, whatever they may be. While we're at it, add that to my bucket list... teaching my kids to know the difference!
