Football

Cymbals crash- jars ears Marching line, loud metal sounds. Football season starts.

Very insightful Hilda. My goodness, even the newscasters who cover sports carry on with incredible volume. It's really just show business and a lot of people enjoy it. I read a lot of the comments...it goes to prove how popular it is. You struck a nerve for sure, which I always love seeing. BTW, thanks for your comment today.

I don't care for the loud sounds, but it seems to bring out the sporting mood.

I wonder what happens to adults who once played in a high school, college, and professional marching band. Do they go death? Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Musical instruments are a talent. Those who can master the art have opportunities that are limitless.

I happen to be listening to a football game right now. Only do so out of habit, and only listen to the home team now. I find it so boring. Who cares? -- Apparently, I do, at least enough to listen with one ear. Smiles, gw

There are almost too many teams now. Football has become commercial with an emphasis on money. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers because they are a home based team.

Yes, just like anew. And I do like simple and short. You made a very quick point of it!

I sure know those sounds. My man are all football fans. I use to watch my husband sit in his recliner as he was one in the field playing football. He'd also lose his temper when a wrong was made. It was hilarious. Great imagery in you Senryu, Hilda.

Yes indeed. Football season and many wives rue the day but it's also Hockey season and some of the women are worse than the men. Good job her. God Bless, JB
