Okay... It's been a couple of days and I've been thinking that I should start with my lifelong love - Music.
The origin of the title for this post, "Life Without Music Would be a Mistake," is from a T-shirt I saw advertised in a music lovers mail order catalog. I've used it as my "signature" on forums, etc., for a long time.
I credit my parents for my love of music. I can't play a note, but the simple act of listening has brought me - probably literally - thousands of hours of pleasure from the time I was a toddler. They raised me on almost everything... I can't even begin to label my own personal genre - it's far too bizarre.
And so I'll let you take a peek for yourself... This is a large sampling of the artists on my iPod - beginning with the A - B alpha list. Well, it's somewhat of an alpha list. For example... for some reason known only to the people at Apple/iTunes, most artists are listed alphabetically by first name or band name; however, Lee Bobbets ("Little, Bitty Pretty One") also shows up in the Bs.
