When I was little, I loved going down to my grandparents basement to play the jukebox. I had never heard a single song played anywhere else but there. I was born with a love for music. I sang in competitions and played piano for a short time. I was a member of our school choir. I love musicals and my parents used to buy the musical score books so I could sing along (usually with my sister). Music can connect me to a memory and change my mood in an instant. I have a great ear for music, I can pick out a song the first time I hear it and can tell if it will be a hit or not.
I do nothing in my adult life that has to do with music, aside from random karaoke and sing-a-longs in the car. I don't have the nerves to sing in front of strangers anymore. A lot has changed. But I won't forget how as a kid, playing song after song on the jukebox kept me more than entertained.
Oh! MY! Look at that jukebox! It must be an antique! What wonderful memories to have! You should put music back into your life. It soothes the soul!
