music

I have been a musician my entire life, I can remember singing "Give said the little stream" and "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam" when I was four.  I took piano lessons sometime in grade school, those lessons taught me to read sheet music and the basics of piano.  I sang and sang and sang all though school, I was choir president my senior year of high school.  I listen to a ton of music(I mean tons).  My uncle was a karaoke dj when I grew up and I was cooking at a place and I did the karaoke for a year.  I did not care if I got paid, I just did it for free drinks and be able to sing any time I wanted, and did I ever sing.  The universe did mess with my head a few years ago, but maybe I had it coming.  I had a girlfriend a few years ago whose boyfriend in the early nineties was a music promoter for the first lollapalooza when she lived in Seattle.  I liked hearing her tales of Les Claypool of Primus, Courtney Love of Hole and the boys called Wheezer.  They were the music scene when I was in high school(alternative).  We are called Generation X.  Music can be magic, I paid homage to the rock gods for years and they repaid me with a rock and roll fantasy.
Music soothes the savage beast.  I use music to sooth my soul.  When I am in the tub, meditating before I sleep and just any other time of the day.  Music is so ordinary to me, it has always just been there.
