2009 Coming to an End
The year 2009 is coming to an end. Christmas is next week. A new decade starts January 1, 2010.
I have been playing songs on my computer in the background while I “worked”. A couple of weeks ago I came across an old music DVD I made from my Beatles “records”. I know it is hard to believe people still have them. They keep company with 8-track tapes.
While looking for some of the “old” great guitar players I ended up on YouTube.
I selected some of them to put onto my computer.
You can check out some of my “favorites” in this blog. Obviously that is hard to do when current music changes with the culture and thinking of the times. So I have made no special attempt to get my best-loved music in this blog.
Click on the little piece of film on the left of the URL address line and watch the music video. Then do it again on the next URL address line down. Of course you can play the same one over if you want. You can even play more than one at a time though it probably distorts the physical and chemical process that works on your brain so you can hear and see.
You can of course go on reading the blog while enjoying the music video or just read the blog entry and come back when you have some time to go into the music videos.
These will definitely make your day a little different. They are not the Christmas songs you start hearing before the goblins of Halloween have all been quietened.

Power to the this season, the year 2009, the decade, and music. Listen/watch these and see if you can remember some thoughts and memories or a time in your life associated with a particular song. When finished with a song just close the video (Apture software window) you are using to play the music video.You can repeat the song on the video software. “do it again” Dire Straits said in one of their best songs or you can come back to this post over and over to watch and to listen. Enjoy the holiday season with whatever music makes you happy, gives you good memories or touches your soul.
Give thanks to those who really do care for the environment, culture, mankind and how to best preserve our civilization. “Play it forward” because you can pass it on and know you are helping another person as you have been helped. A giving heart is what the Christmas season is for me other than the celebration of Christ’s birth. You can give of yourself whether you give material gifts or not. I have heard many times that helping others without expectation (other than knowing you made a difference) is what we could all do more often. The spirit is clearly moving and providing a tingling charge, like when you hear a song that makes you feel electric. Because it captures your soul and you have a profound sense of purpose,
I sometimes choke up myself and my skin starts to tingle and then feel as though I am being shocked by some low voltage electrical power source. A good power source for sure. There is a great feeling to see and hear a hit from our good times. It seems to identify you as having been right there “experiencing history”. I hope you enjoy these songs. They are meant to get into your head for a while, to make you smile.
