Music that changed my life
I think this is something that quite a few of us share, where simply listening to something completely altered your mood or outlook on life. It allowed you to smile through the pain, to be consoled and find comfort or matched the mood on that nearly perfect day. Music has had a tremendous impact in my life and sometimes guided me down and back out again of certain rabbit holes in life. In a way, this is my way of thanking the artists and this involved in crafting the words and sounds that helped me make it here today.
A caveat, music was always playing in the house, Dad was a big Faron Young and Charlie Pride guy. he was into country, but not too much of a traditionalist, sure Haggard, Jones and Cash were played, but not as much as Marty Robbins and Hank Snow or Buck Owens. So it was conventional, but not exactly traditional. Naturally as a literal child of the sixties, it was in my nature to rebel against what my parents listened to, so I kept my eyes and ears open and rebellion found me soon enough.
