A Potpourri of Songs
********************************************************************** It was my maternal grandmother that loved Perry Como. He was popular from the late 1930's on through and well past the 1960's, having thirteen #1 top hits. She was born in 1892, so this makes sense. I liked listening to his music with her. In elementary school music class, we learned this song, Moon River. I remember singing it to her. Dean Martin described Como's voice as "relaxing." I also remember another singer, Andy Williams who was popular in the 60s-70's. He, too sang Moon River. I think I liked his version the best.

A Sibling-Influenced Musical Journey. Top Story - January 2024.
Part 2: The Teenage Years and My Introduction to Live Music As I stepped closer to my teenage years, the music my brothers loved continued laying the foundation of my own musical world. During the summers, our house in Sherman, Connecticut, would be alive with music – particularly on Wednesday nights. Weekly beach picnics ended up at our house – the teenagers downstairs, the adults upstairs. Too young to hang out with either group, I would fall asleep in my bed to the sounds of The Rolling Stones, The Who, and Led Zeppelin echoing through the house.

Music That Rocked Me Into Womanhood. Top Story - January 2024.
Time doesn’t stand still for any man — or should I say woman? When I look back on my life and the journey I took from happy-go-lucky teenager to full-blown womanhood, I feel that there was no gradual emergence from my cocoon. No, I feel I was catapulted into a life of such depth, such responsibility and such chaos, that without the music that lived and breathed within my soul, I would have sunk into the depths and drowned.
