A big hello to all the Mamboers out their in Blogland!
Music is a part of most everyone's life. We hear it when we're at the mall, at restaurants and sometimes even in our place of work. That's the focus of this week's mambo. How music affects us and shapes our lives.
Yup, this mambo is going deep!
So to start out this week, we'll do a little "I say ____, You think ____." (Music style, of course)
Drums: James Kottak, The Scorpions' drummer, of course!
Station: Radio station
Concert: Anywhere but Pittsbugh, please!
MP3: Torment the record company execs. Share 'em with your friends!
CD: Oooo... Shiny!
Burn:"Come on, baby, light my fire..."
Seven: If I find my missing guitars, and buy one more, I will have seven!
Who: Roger Daltry, Pete Townsend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon
London:"London Bridge is falling down..."
Vinyl: Vinyl albums were so much more fun than CDs...
OK, so are you ready to really Mambo? OK then, let's get dancing.
1. What is your definition of music? (What it means to you, etc) Music is a part of me that I can't deny. It can bring a smile to my face when I need one. It can comfort me in times of sorrow or calm me when I am angry. I can worship through music or just have fun with it! If I am feeling creative, I can "make my own kind of music." Without music, there would be a huge hole in my life that nothing else could fill.
2. What do you say about music? (Do you talk about bands and songs or do you gossip about the artists...that sort of thing) I could go on about The Scorpions forever, but I choose not to. My experience with the Moody Bitches has taught me to avoid other fans of the bands that I like. I discuss music only with those closest to me. To do anything else would only be annoying to me or them.
Ooooo... but I do love these guys!
3. Here's a quote by Arnold Bennett about music, "Its language is a language which the soul alone understands, but which the soul can never translate." Tell us what your thoughts on that quote. It is true that music touches our hearts in ways that mere words never can. How and why this is I cannot explain.
*Note To Mambo Author* No more of these deep mamboes, puh-lease! My brain hurts!
