Mercy mercy me..... Marvin Gaye is one of those artists who can go on about social issues and political unrest yet still have this double as a bedroom song.
This blog is really just a reminder for myself how music has touched every age and aspect of my life.
My earliest memories of my love of music started at church. Little Cathy was the one in the second row at guitar mass singing her heart out to Morning Has Broken.
I continued through preteen years memorizing every word to every song featured on the top 40 station WLS.
I discovered WXRT through a good friend in High School. Lisa has older brothers and seemed to know a lot about music. She turned me on to good music that I had never heard before.I started to develop my own tastes and styles. I met new people and listened to new songs and artists. I had a pretty good album collection that I kept in a Peaches fruit crate. I couldn't wait to pick up the monthly WXRT featured artists card at Dog Ear Records.
Music speaks the words and emotions that are in my heart. It triggers memories. I just cant imagine life without it.
