The sweetest life

The music of Christmas sets the tone for the whole season.  It is the music of love in all its many forms.

I think almost everyone loves music, of some kind, but it has always had a special place in my heart.  My mother said I would only fall asleep to Burl Ives singing Big Rock Candy Mountain and Yankee Doodle as a toddler.  She played those little yellow records over and over.

I learned to play the piano and sang my favorite songs at the top of my lungs and later I learned to play other instruments.

My favorite music is that sung by the people I love -- in person, on CDs, or recorded just for me on my phone or computer.  As I am writing this I am playing Christmas songs played, sang and recorded just for me! 

Life can be so sweet.
