I have a note on my to-do list reminding me that I want to write a blog about something I read in American Songwriter Magazine.  But for the life of me, I can't remember what that's all about.  Uhh.  ???   I've lived with said reminder for at least a week now.  Maybe two.

Nada.

Sorry everyone.  You're just gonna have to live without that flash of insight and inspiration. 

But what really bugs me is that sometimes the "flash" also involved a song idea I wanted to write!  Boo hiss.  It's gone.

I enjoy our local radio station's "mind bender" on carpool mornings.  Today's question?  They hooked up some people to wires and such, and then asked them to think about specific things.  One in particular was #1 for producing a surge of energy.  Wanna guess?   I didn't even THINK of this answer, which makes me mad now that I know.

Subjects were asked, "What is your favorite song?"  Woo-hoo!!!!

The power of music, folks!  Pure and simple.  I shoulda known.

So this afternoon I put my headphones on while I was paying bills and listened to music.  Not oldies, although that would have been fun too.  Instead, a shuffle of some of my newest favorite "top" iTunes downloads.  I loved it!!  Not sure if the increased heart rate was due to the power of music or the lack of funds in my checking account, but I felt happy - so let's go with option #1.  Music is definitely the way to go when you're dealing with the outflow of cash.  Definitely.
