But once I got to high school: Arlo Guthrie, Jonathon Edwards, Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell, Billy Holiday, Jimi Hendrix, Elmore James. I had an electric upbringing… there was also Mitch Miller and Burl Ives. My sisters were products of the 60s, so I had all the 50s and 60s music from them as well.Lucky Press, LLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10819496666158854345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-28380460130021873962011-11-14T22:15:21.609+02:002011-11-14T22:15:21.609+02:00Love the photo of you in the Peter Max-colored clo...Love the photo of you in the Peter Max-colored clothes. You may find some humor in the fact that the word "Lucky" was in your first purchased album/cassette and that today I am wearing a blue top, black sweater, brown/blue/pink paisley skirt and blue leggings with black socks and I also had a scarf around my neck at one point today. I am not rebelling at my parents, or remembering the 80s (when I HAD CHILDREN, egads!) but rebelling against my memory which has lost my favorite pair of slacks, what I wear most of the time, and I am waiting for new corduroys to arrive via the postman. <br /><br />I am signing this anonymously (If possible). Keep up the good work. You are one-of-a-kind but also have universal appeal and a compassionate heart and talented mind. This is rare, so nurture it and be kind to you.<br /><br />OK, not possible to be anonymous.

So I could close my eyes and imagine my own story set to the music of "Sinbad's Ship Goes To Pieces On The Rocks."<br /><br />I still compose scenes, listening to music I think goes with the moment described.
