Seasons

I had my birthday again a few days ago.  It comes every year whether I'm ready or not.  I enjoyed the time with family and friends.  I received a number of iTunes gift cards.  What surprised me a bit is what I purchased.  Crosby, Stills and Nash (C, S & N), Cat Stevens (Tea for the Tillerman, Teaser and the Firecat), Simon and Garfunkel (Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme), Gordon Lightfoot (The United Artists collection) , and Carole King (Tapestry, of course).  I guess I was in a mood to hear music that is connected to a much earlier season in my life.  Every album I downloaded is one that I had previously owned on vinyl.  (I think I also had Tapestry on 8 track).  


I have no doubt that I'll play these mostly when I'm on one of my road trips.  I'll leave it to others to figure out the "why".  In the meantime I'll enjoy the music.

Thanks Paul... I don't know if I will figure it out, but it is comforting to see the behaviors in someone I respect.... makes me not worry so much ;-)

Hey, you left out Emerson, Lake, and Palmer!

God bless and good luck and health for all regarding your upcoming grandbaby. I've had a grandaughter for 23 months now, and the "makes me thrilled, happy, blessed, and excited" beats the "makes me feel old" everytime!
