ODE to MUSIC

　
If music is the key to my soul, what songs would define me and how I feel?

Would it be the sweet sultry sounds of the late Phyllis Hyman or a throw back like Sugar Hill?

When I’m in music mode my alter ego can go from Tracy Chapman to Anita B.

When I get a song in my head and a hum on my lips there is no telling who I might be!

Just call me the chameleon

When I hear a song that I am feeling. And I can catch the melody.

I just close my eyes, catch the vibe, and settle into the melody.

The feeling of being lost. Without care, without cause in the melodic and hypnotic beats.

Grab a drink but don't drive, thank God that you are alive and pop in your favorite CD.
　
Music is one of the greatest gifts ever created. Keep it in our schools, keep it in our homes.
