Soundtrack of Our Lives





Still in the middle of an Anne Rice novel while once in a while catching episodes from Terra Nova and Vampire Diaries. Today I want to write about the soundtrack of our lives.As a kid most of the stuff I listened to were from the radio. I grew up to top 40 radio and that includes oldies. For instance, the smell of pencils and crayons remind me of grade school. I remember that my first day in class was really sad. I didn't want to go to school because I wanted to play all day. I didn't understand why kids had to reach a certain age where their freedom to play was soon taken away.By this time I was hearing a lot of Abba and Disco.

Then of course came high school where a lot of people were listening to New Kids on the Block, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany and Rick Astley.I on the other hand was digging Frank Sinatra, Jazz, New Wave music including U2. College arrived and that's when I discovered Celtic, World and Goth music. Sometimes it make you wonder why life has to be just a constant circle of birth school work marriage and death...there's got to be something more than this right?

When I hear the band Plumb I remember the times I had with old pals in the early part of the last decade. IT was the band everyone loved to listen to and hear on alternative radio stations.
