Yards of Music

Just when you think its spring – BAM! – it feels like fall again.
OK, today I spent one of the things I enjoy doing most on my day off. Although it was a bit nippy, I went to yard sales with my mother. During the spring and summer we enjoy getting up early and trekking all around town to find the items people put out for purchase. We had a good time despite the chilly weather.
If you are one of those people who doesn’t like to look through things that others are discarding, then I feel sorry for you. (Besides saving money, it’s a great way to be green and recycle.) Plus you really can find some one-of-a-kind items.
This year my plan is to look for albums. Earlier this year I purchased a turntable that not only can I listen to my music, but I can convert the songs into iTunes.
I found a Foreigner album today for less than it would cost to purchase one song. I am on the lookout for anything 60s, 70s and early 80s. My son is a huge fan of classic rock so I guess that will be my mission this year.
Most recently I went through my mother’s old 45s and found a few that I remember her playing a lot when I was a kid. She really liked Carole King’s I Feel The Earth Move and Helen Reddy’s I Am Woman. I will always enjoy listening to someone who can not only play, but write great music.
My recent playlist includes tunes from Amy Winehouse, The Beatles, Gnarls Barkley, Steve Miller Band, Bon Jovi and Brad Paisley.
Tell me what’s on your play list.

My iPod has 537 songs, almost all classic rock from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Kansas, Styx, Boston, Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, and John Denver are what I heard the last shuffle it did while out on my motorcycle! Nothing better than portable music! If there’s any particular songs you’re looking for, let me know as I might have them.

I don’t know how many songs are on my iPod right now. What I like most is that my son and I can share music. I say he’s a throwback. He recently downloaded The Beatles “White ” album and The Doors “Live.” Now we are on the lookout for some Zeppelin. Who knows what else he’ll end up liking. Keep on Rockin’.
