I Followed The Yellow Brick Road

I remember being in chorus but I don’t remember being able to sing. In junior high school I was a member of the school radio station WMJH but I don’t think I was ever “on-air”. We even visited a local radio station and I thought to myself being a disc jockey was surely the career path I must take. I still have the little cassette tape where I played music and did mini interviews with my younger brothers.

My sweetie is one of the most accommodating people I will ever know he knows I have a love for music and a real soft spot for drums. In our first half of marriage we bought (and sold) two beautiful drum sets. But the problem was, I wanted so bad to play the drums but I didn’t want to learn to play the drums. I felt it should all just come naturally.

I love music, almost all music. Sweetie often tries so hard to ask me who sings this or do you know what those lyrics mean. I don’t think I will ever get any better at that game. But my love for music will never change. I will continue to buy surprise tickets and take my Sweetie to see some of the biggest names in Rock & Roll, but as for the drums…….not in this life.
