Music

"Its a little bit funny..." how music can affect you. I am sure most of you will recognize the opening quote from Elton John's Your Song. That I believe was his first big hit. But I digress. Seriously music has a way of bringing out the good and bad in most of us. As I was driving the morning Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison came on the radio and it immediately made me think of my very good friend Charlie. Charlie is a talented individual who loves to sing and play his guitar. Brown Eyed Girl is one of the songs I have heard him sing often.

Charlie and I worked together for many years and I miss him a lot! Of course remembering Charlie also made me remember many of my other very good friends Rhona, and Barbara my ya ya sisters who will always have a very special place in my heart, my good friend Jen who always listens without passing judgement, and many, many other friends from RRMC. Of course the good memories don't pass without some of the bad slipping in. I don't need to mention those individuals by name but you know who you are.

So there you have it the power of one song opens up all sorts of memories of times places and people. And to quote the great Lennon and McCartney "In my life I've loved them all."
