The sound of music

                                 Just recently as I was driving to work, a song came on the radio that I remembered listening to when I was in my early twenties.  What had happened, was earlier that morning my 23 year old son had been driving my car, and had changed the radio station. When I heard the song “Liven on a Pray” by Bon Jovi, I started thinking about the different kinds of music I had listened to over the years. From the lullabies my mother sang to me as an infant.  To my preschool years of singing “The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round” or singing “Jesus Loves Me” in Sunday school.

By the early to mid-70’s my teenage years, I remember listing to music from the Bee gees, Shaun Cassidy, and Leif Garret. Unless my parents were home or in the car, then we would listen to country music. Usually music from artist like Charlie Pride, Tammy Wynette or Donna Fargo.

Then the 80’s rolled around, it was time to Rock N Roll. My husband and enjoyed listening to and attending concerts of AC/DC, Def Leppard, Metallica, and Guns N’ Roses.  Then in the mid 80’s it happened, parenthood, what an amazing time. I went from listing and attended rock concerts to singing lullabies.  Before I knew it, I was back to sing “The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round” and “Jesus loves me” with my children.  As my sons were growing up, I noticed them listening to and enjoying some of the same performers and bands that my husband and I enjoyed when we were younger.
