Music

Whether you like rock or rap Or classical or jazz, Music is the equalizer Everybody has. Often we’ve heard quoted, “Music Soothes the savage beast.” Listening to music helps Emotions get released. Opera may make you cry And hip hop make you dance; Show tunes make you sing along And some inspire romance. Salsa music makes you move And reggae makes you jive; Marching music, so emphatic, Shouts, “I am alive!” We need sunshine, food and drink And love to help sustain us, But music is the magic With the power to unchain us.

Music was ALWAYS a part of my childhood... it gave me a voice to be able to sing in choral societies later in life. So, YES! music is part of my DNA. Talk about SMOOTH and SILKY! I can always rely on your cadence and rhyme, cornerstones of your poetic creativity, to which I say Y E S!!! Best wishes, Keith
