We are always looking for topics, subjects and ideas so feel free to chime in if you have ideas. Welcome!  

 Music is something most people truly enjoy but some find it annoying at times.   Some listen at home, some in cars, and music is played in restaurants, shops, you name it, music provides a background for many activities.

1.What kind of music appeals to you? I love music. Almost any kind. I don't have a favorite genre. I'm more drawn to songs. With that said....   What kind  can you do without?  I'm not a fan of heavy metal, rap, or southern gospel.

2.Do you consider music an  important part of life?  Yes. I believe it is important in all it's forms from orchestras, to school bands, to music we listen to on a daily basis.  Why or why not? Music has always been a part of my life..my dad was a drummer, I played flute in school, and just have always enjoyed music. I can carry a tune (thank the Lord) so I will sin often. Music speaks to our soul, our spirit, can calm our minds. I usually focus on music that is uplifting or has a message I can relate to. I feel like it has an ability to seep into our being and so we need to guard what we listen to..I feel like if we are always flooding our minds with music that is filled with noise and words that are negative, than that is how our bodies, our emotions will respond and be impacted. 

3 What's on the radio as you drive or what is on at home and do you find music in restaurants and shops soothing or off putting? Sometimes I listen to the radio, but I'm always changing stations and then if I like a song, I'll listen to it. If I'm in a newer car with a bluetooth capability, I'll listen to my spotify playlist which is VERY eclectic.   

4. Would you tell us some of your favorite songs and singers please?

Gosh, I don't think I have favorites. There are so many I like in each genre and now and then a new song will come on and I just love it. I do enjoy Lauren Daigle, Ed Sheeran (his Visiting hours is really good), Danny Gokey, JJ Heller (big love small moments), I love Jenn Johnsons song For the One. I love Natalie Grants version of Turn Your Eyes. I love country music, pop, classic rock, contemporary Christian. I enjoy Andrea Bocelli. Adele's voice is amazing. Like I said, it's eclectic. In high school, Journey was a favorite as was Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith.

I was trying to find a way to share my playlist but I can't figure it out. 

Thanks so much for joining in!  Please, if you have ideas for topics let me know in comments here or on Cottage by the Sea blog.
