It can work on you in so many ways. It can bring back happy or sad memories. It can change moods. My taste ranges from Classic Waltzes to 'old time' country music. Not the new stuff, the $#@! kicking, beer guzzling, cheating stuff. I saw many of those guys in person at concerts. Now, I almost avoid music because it brings so many sad memories. More of my favorites are gone now, and I am still here.
Several here applaud that I will join my missing music friends and the many personal friends I have survived beyond, that's ok. I am not going today (I say with fingers crossed) because it's the season opener for my Cardinals, but when I do, how I have lived means more to me than how it was perceived on this forum. You guys are company to me and I never expected you would all like me. I can handle that. But Gawd, I miss so many who did matter to me. Maybe this is a rant, if so, move me.
