Life is music, or music is life...

If you had a theme song right at this moment, what would it be? I could be doing something, and a song comes on, and I'm like that's what I would do this or that to. I know y'all have done the same, so stop laughing. But think about it, how much has music impacted your life?

 As a young child, I was forced to hear it all. From the big band era, classic country, acid rock, and even disco...yeah, I have a brother who is still "staying alive". But for that, I am thankful. It has lead me to such a vast love of all kinds of music.

 But let's be clear, my favorite is what is know as southern fried rock. A style of music that seems to be able to speak the words I can not at times. Bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stone Black Cherry, Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, and the list goes on and on. To me, the words can hit so hard it hurts. Skynyrd has a newer album out that has a song called "ready to fly". The first verse had me bawling the time I heard it. As you may have read, I lost my Mum, and in this song, so do they. Simple man, my Mum had pretty much told me that growing up. Flirtin' with disaster, need I say more?

 From Hank Jr., to Kid Rock... From Ozzy to Bill Haley, I can relate. I know for a fact, that everything that has happened in my life, I can find a song for it. The first song I heard when my son was born was keeper of the stars, and my baby girl, and I should of know as soon as I heard it I was in trouble, smoke on the water. When I look at my lovely wife, a bunch come to mind. Million dollar view, make the world go away, love me tender, and the one that hits the heart, I won't need you anymore.

 Just a few short months ago, power in the blood, and he lives really hit home. I had the honor of being Baptized with both of my kiddos. A day that will live in my heart forever. The Great Lord above has blessed me in so many ways , and as Trace Atkins sang, I'm proud to be here! With that said, I do have to say I have also been blessed with a half decent voice to sing with. I love to sing solo, solo you can't hear me!

 But back to the question, let me know what your song is at the moment. Don't be shy, I don't judge.
