Something About It...

And by "it" I mean music. I grew up listening to all sorts of music genres. I don't have one particular favorite, I just like music. I listen to whatever my mood dictates. Lately I've been leaning towards the classical area. There's something about it that just makes me relax. I have two classical presets in my car and when I got in my car this morning to come to work I was trying to figure out what to listen to on my way in. I had forgotten that I had WICR (UIndy radio station that plays a lot of classical, jazz, and blues type stuff) on when I came home on Thursday so when it came on this morning, I was okay with it and left it there. I just find it amazing that someone could be so talented as to make music (says the girl who knows how to play trumpet). I can play the trumpet and pick out tunes on the piano as long as they're not too difficult. My family is full of musicians. My dad can play guitar, harmonica, trumpet, and autoharp; my mom can play the dulcimer, I think she used to play violin, and kinda piano; Aaron plays trumpet; I don't know if Annelise can play anything; Adriane plays flute, guitar, and maybe piano; Asher plays guitar, bass, and piano; and Ethan, he's still a bit young to play anything but he shows interest in piano, trumpet, and guitar. I know my uncles play guitar but I'm not sure which ones play and my Grandma can play the violin and piano. My cousins are talented, too but I don't know what they play.
I just find that music can relax me and match my mood. I have chillaxin', classical, motivational (pop type stuff), classic rock, and kid music on my computer so I can pick my mood and go from there. I have a couple CD's that are my "mad" music and tend to listen to those only in the car at full blast when I find myself in a shitty mood. Besides my family, I think music is the most important thing in my life. It defines who I am and what I like...and there's always something for me to listen to on any given day.
