Music Is In My Soul Thanks To Daddy
I love classical music, for it reminds me of
Walt Disney's musical full-length featured comics.
Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty,
And when I was older, Fantasia, my favorite.
I love Willy Nelson, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn,
Reba, and her daughter-in-law, Kelli Clarkson.
They remind me of my father who used to
Hide in the basement playing his favorites.
My mother did not like music. She listened to the
News channels, and read the encyclopedias. She
Never danced with delight, or hit a pot with a spoon.
I cannot hear a beat without jumping up and dancing.
My favorite songs are by Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra.
Christmas songs. I will sing them to high heaven, any
Month of the year. They make me feel joyful, and loved
By God, Jesus and everyone else in my childhood memory.
When I hear rock and roll, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, I drive like a maniac. Music reminds me of the 50's, the 60's,
And the 70's. The Beatles, and the Beach Boys. Wow!
Did I ever have a crush on all of them! Music makes me young.
I turn nineteen again when I hear songs from Sonny and Cher,
Mac Davis, Tony Orlando and Dawn. I have such memories
Of Muskrat love. Barbara Striesand and Bette Midler
Captured my heart too, not only in music but in movies.
I love music. It feeds my soul and makes me feel alive!
It brings back memories, and reminds me of my loved ones
Who are now in heaven. It makes me jump up and dance
And sing. It is in my soul, thanks to my Daddy.
