Dust In The Wind
The music of my year, was also the music of my life. Music to me was more than a form of art, it was a living breathing person. I lost a few people this year, and one of them was my uncle Mark. And as far as music goes, my uncle Mark was music to me. He inspired my love for music since as far back as I can recall. As a small child I didn’t listen to kid songs or anything like that, I listened to what he told me to listen to. He inspired music into the whole family really. He sang like a country music angel and I always wished he had tried to make a career out of it. Now I know that it was a wonderful blessing from God to gift our family with his voice. It wasn’t for nothing, it was for us and that somehow makes it all the more special. He passed and the first thing I thought of was the song “American Pie” because that was truly the day music died for me. It will never be the same, no song will ever feel the same or sound the same to me because he’s gone. And I don’t mean that it’s ruined for me, it’s just slightly different somehow. Maybe I will get over this part of it eventually, but all music makes me think of him. And I am grateful for that.

Reminiscing before the New Year
I stopped making or writing New Year's Resolutions in 2016. I had quit smoking on my own that year, then after about 2 months I fell off the wagon. I decided that year I wasn't going to fool myself anymore. I have a new tradition. Right after Christmas, I like to think back on the year and think ahead about the new year, and compare the lessons learned and goals still available for achievement. Thinking about a soundtrack of songs that represents the themes or moods of the past year is a great idea, so looking back at 2024 here is a month by month playback.

The Role of Music in Our Lives
Humans devote ample time to producing and listening to music. What music offers to humans is universally valued. This universality raises the question of the origin of human musicality. What is music for, and why does every human culture have it? Current theories focus on emotion regulation, social cohesion, such as group bonding, or the bond between parents and children, and communication. Here are six main reasons why we appreciate music (Spitzer, 2021).

My Harvest Vinyl Collection
Introduction I can't remember for certain the first Harvest record that I bought. My brother bought "Black Night" by Deep Purple and I then bought "In Rock" because both records shared the song "Speed King" which I always wanted to sing live, but, so far, have not had the opportunity. "In Rock" is back in my vinyl collection along with the ones I have included in the lead photograph, and this is a playlist of songs from Harvest Label records that are in my vinyl collection.

They Got The Blues
Introduction I was listening to an album on the roots of Jimi Hendrix and the first song on was "Killing Floor" by Howlin' Wolf. Then I thought that Blues singers often had such excellent alternate names. Mckinley Morganfield became Muddy Waters although is real name was something special too.
