Music and me
What is your favorite genre of music?
Honestly, I love music, all kinds of music. To ask me what my favorite genre is, well that’s the question I could not possibly answer.

I couldn’t even tell you what my favorite group, artist is. I could start by naming one, that would remind me of another and before you know where you are my list is a mile long.

Music to me is like breathing, I can’t imagine not having it in my life.
Growing up I guess I was fortunate having parents that always had music – my mother was a singer long before she had children and marriage, sadly passing when I was a kid – my siblings being mostly older would have the most diverse collection of tunes blaring out from Barry Manilow to David Bowie.

We, as children were practically pushed into school plays, always including a song or 10… I think I must have been the only 7 year old that knew all the words to the amazing Billie Holiday s Summer Time!

The first time I heard Madame Butterfly was mind-blowing as was the first time I heard George Michael, Freddie Mercury.
This is a list of instantly recognisable songs to me, from the second they start to play.

Do you have a similar list?

Music takes me to so many amazing places, always has and always will. Do I have a favorite genre, no. Does that bother me, not in the slightest.
