For Day Ten, we should have something enjoyable. Songs I listen to when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m happy, sad, bored, hyped, and mad.<\/p>\n
This was more appropriate twenty-five or thirty years ago. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t listen to music that often these days. Listening to music has always been a very private experience for me. If other people are around, I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t listen to music. Somehow, I got it in my mind that it was rude to do so, and if someone is around, I turn music off. This may be accentuated by having a husband whose musical tastes a very different from mine. Since he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 23 years older than I am, He formed his musical tastes before I was born. Also, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a musician, so the music is more important to him. As a writer, the words are more important to me (although, that certainly doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t explain everything.).<\/p>\n
He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a fan of Big Band and other instrumental works from the 40s and 50s. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m more into 70\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rock and 80\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s country (same thing, really). But that doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t answer it either, because I have no knowledge of a lot of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153important\u00e2\u20ac\u009d bands of that era \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Journey, KISS, Aerosmith, and Guns \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcN\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Roses (to name a few that I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know beyond hearing the name). That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s more my sister and brothers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 era, I think.<\/p>\n
I can remember being mad once in the mid 1980s and listening to a lot of Springsteen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dancing in the Dark.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a great song for frustration. During my separation before my divorce, I listened to a lot of Huey Lewis and the News, Little River Band, Eddie Money, and similar stuff. I guess that would mostly be sad music.<\/p>\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not sure I listen to music when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m happy. I have other things to do. (Nah, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not it. I put it on shuffle most of the time, so I get a variety of things.)<\/p>\n
I turned to my old iPod, and apparently, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s playing sequentially, because I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m getting a medley of Abba. If I base my favorites on number of albums by a single artist, they are probably Kathy Mattea, Neil Diamond, George Strait, and Dan Seals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
