Cold Weather-Warm Music

What did you think of the cold weather last week? All that cold and we had no snow. It did make me think about all that indoor time that could be used for practicing piano. It might surprise you to know that I can lose myself playing through a pile of music that I enjoy. I love playing folk songs and songs that make me remember special people and special times. Josh groban is one of my favorite singers and I enjoy his music. I also really like Irving Berlin. Music can make me feel happy, sad, and everything in between. Music just makes me feel. When you play a song, or listen to one, do you wonder why it was written? When you have little children around you, it is easy to make up songs about everything that is done: picking up toys, going to sleep, eating, etc. I make up many songs about food because I have an interest in it. What songs do you enjoy the most?
Trivia question: $1 extra this week. Why did Irving Berlin write "Always"?
Look in January 16th Lubbock paper, page B2. Our practice-a-thon made the news.
