“Are these your kids?!” the 50-ish man leaned over and asked me. Despite the din of 100+ decibel music, he seemed calm and his voice was clear. We were second row back on the center stage, and Jamie Grace just got done strumming her guitar in a duet with Toby Mac. My son Joey was star struck, and Caleb looked like he’d just wet his pants when TobyMac strolled casually in on his part of the song, Hold Me.
Been a pretty stressful time lately–co-teaching a class at church, layoffs at work, and kids bored OUT OF THEIR MINDS because of the Snowpocalypse.
My iPod’s been my one refuge. Listening to it today, I’ve learned something about my (new) self–I hate lots of music.
Basically, I hate atonic noise, overwrought compositions, and LOUD stuff. That’s ALOT of what people listen to–and alot of what’s on my ipod.
About the only thing that gives me peace these days is Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue
Every time I hear Norah Jones, I’m hear Joey snoring softly in the back on my MINI, dusk falling around us as we drive back from Somernites Cruise on US 127 from Danville.
The sun’s gone down on a perfect day, and Whitney’s looking at me every so often with so much love in her eyes, I just want to cry. She doesn’t know I see her looking. And that’s okay.
:-) NANO!!!!
Every time I hear Paradise City, I’m apexing a curve in my old SE-R, Goodyears howling, somewhere just south of 6800 rpm in 2nd gear.
The moonroof’s back, it’s 85 degrees outside as the sun sets in the West, and I’m headed to Louisville to see Whitney. Speed limit be damned, that car loved to MOOVE.
