Rabbit Trails

 I'm old enough to have seen record albums turn into mp3-Ipod whatever cords, in your ear, music. (One day, big speakers were cool.  Turn around, little gadgets are cool.) My mom sang to me, I heard her records and her radio.  I heard music on T.V.....HeeHaw. I remember when they made 8 track tapes....and wondered how in the world they could work.  Then they came up with cassette tapes. Little tape players.  I still have two players and I still listen to cassette tapes. Then along came cd's. How do THEY work? Then Napster! Pandora. Spotify. You Tube.  There is music everywhere.  You can hook up your computer to your phone to your car to your ear.   As a 4 year old, I remember my sister at age 6, teaching me a patriotic song. I listened to my mom's CW music. She had records, and she had a radio.   Crying Time Again.  It's Such a Pretty World Today! My dad sang.....I'...

    Somebody asked me the other day what my favorite hymn was. Right now, I think it's this one. Yes, it changes. It might tomorrow..... At least there are a lot to choose from... one for every reason, and every season of life. The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star, And reaches to the lowest hell; The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win; His erring child He reconciled, And pardoned from his sin.   Refrain: Oh, love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure— The saints’ and angels’ song.   Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made, Were every stalk on earth a quill, And every man a scribe by trade; To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry; Nor could the scroll contain the whole, Though stretched from sky to sky. 

tapes, cd's, radio in car and house, TV music channel, music in restaurants and stores, BOOM BOOM BOOM in parking lots, church, Girl Scout camp, I (heart) Radio, Pandora, Playlist, You Tube, Commercials, Movies, TV Shows, ballgames to carnivals, I-pods, weddings to parades, phones, ZEDGE, prom to lullaby, records   music is everywhere     Could we ever count the songs that have been written or sung? Cowboy to Jazz Opera to Bluegrass Christmas to Rock   On and On and On it could go.   And it does.   Songs mark the times of our lives, they do cause floods of memories.   Jesus Thou Joy Of Loving Hearts makes me think of Kimberly, at the piano Circle of Two.....listened to this tape the night Daniel was born If I'd Known You Was Coming, I'd Have Baked a Cake.....Aunt Nancy Carry Me Back To Old Virginia......trip with the girls It's Such A Pretty World, Today!  Isabel, Kansas The Last Word In Lonesome I...
