OK, Raymond tagged all his friends & faithful readers with a music entry, detailing his history and love of music. Now I am obliged to share mine, and if you read this to the end, tag, you're it!

I have spent most of my adult years in contemporary Christian worship music ministries. It is a fulfilling way to play my acoustic guitar and even get to sing a bit. I have played guitar since the second grade when my mom took me for lessons. That was ...sssshhhh... about 32 years ago. Back then I had an S&H Green Stamps guitar. Since then I've had a few other guitars, many of them gifts (someone had an extra one laying around), or factory reject items (I had an Ovation 12 string for a long time, one that was rejected because some of the tops were blowing off!). Last year I was the benefactor of two beautiful instruments that I still have available to me: a 30th anniversary Taylor acoustic electric loaned to me by my rockin' brother Dave (please visit www.bleedrocks.com if you're interested in hearing what he can do, or www.totalguitar.net) and a beautiful acoustic electric Takamine my hubby bought me. My very first brand-new guitar. Both of these are dreamy instruments for sure.

I play mostly rhythm, I'm not a guitar lick kind of girl, although I wish I was. I can strum like there's no tomorrow. I wish I played drums. I sometimes play electric bass if the band needs someone, but again there are many better than me.

I had a post a while back about playing in a music ministry/band setting, you can read it by clicking here if you'd like: Band Blog

My whole family loves music. My hubby loves jazz most of all. I love rock mostly rock/classic rock and contemporary Christian music. In my opinion, Tolouse Street by the Doobie Brothers, released sometime in the 1970s, was one of the best classic rock albums ever made (this album included "Listen to the Music"). My kids love rock, too - how many times have they asked me to play Queen's "Bohemian Rapsody" in the car? Oh, yes, my mom loves rock music, too - her favorites are Guns & Roses and lately Collective Soul. The one type of music I can only take in small doses is country - oh, yes, and rap doesn't really float my boat.

Where would we be without music? It's one of God's gifts, and I think He enjoys it, too. The Psalms are, quite simply, mainly musical compositions meant to be sung and accompanied by musical instruments.

Not a day goes by that we don't listen to something in our house - either at home, in the car, at work, you name it. That's my story for today! Thanks for dropping by.

I just had to comment about the beautiful rose background you have. It looks like fabric and I love the 3D effect it has. Blessings.
