Music for the Heart

Have you ever been so stressed out and you feel like you have no where to turn? Well, I think almost everyone of else can relate to that senior. I found myself in this position this weekend, I was so stressed and so worn down that I was for sure that my hair was going to fall out. (seriously!) Anyway, my mom was convinced that I should take a break and go do something that would be fun and relaxing. You can imagine what my eyes where doing right then, rolling around and around.
So, in order to get me to "enjoy" myself, that crazy, cleaning lady took me to the Jim Brickman concert. All the way to downtown, I kept think, "Who is Jim Brickman?" Now that I have seen him perform I can tell you guys that he is one of the most amazing piano writers that I have ever heard! You don't have to like piano to like Jim Brickman, he is a pop pianist. He was amazing and very funny. I laughed till I cried, I sat there dumb struck(the way I look in math class), and I even found myself smiling ear to ear. This concert made my weekend, it took a sour day and turned it very sweet.
Music is a strange thing, it somehow takes us away to a far place. If the tune being country, or in my case pop-piano; it truly is amazing. I am curious, like I always am, what music do you find yourself listening to, to get away for a while? Share your tips, I am very excited to read them all! Have a great week, and if you can I strongly urge you guys to look up this great artist. (Jim Brickman)

Dakota, I'm so glad you got to see the Jim Brickman concert; in fact, I'm jealous. Music is an avenue for me to remember that life is beautiful. I can't imagine life without it, and when I hear about schools cutting out the arts due to financial problems, I want to cry. I'm glad you enjoy music. It's a lifelong love of mine.

His concert sounds neat! I love music, and I totally agree that it can make you in a better mood. This past weekend, all of my girl cousins went over to my Grandma's house to decorate her house for Christmas. Well, I put in some cd's I found that had Christmas music on it. All of us were just dancing around, having a blast! I felt so happy and lucky that I had such a good family. Even my grandma was dancing with us! Music is medicine for the soul. (I remember hearing that from somewhere, but I can't remember where!) Good post! Your weekend sounds fun!
