X is for Xylophone

X is the toughest letter in the English alphabet. I found lots of cool words that begin with the letter X, but the were all Greek to me.(ha ha -no pun intended) Most of the words that begin with X are in fact Greek words. But they don't mean anything to me.

I pick Xylophone because most everyone had one of these musical contraptions when they were young.We were making beautiful music and our parents thought we were attempting to break the sound barrier. OK, so neither one of us were correct.

But I think that when you watch a child play a Xylophone, it is magical. The look on their faces when they first discover that they are making the sounds and changing the sounds. I have yet to see anything but joy on a young child's face as they discover the joy of making music.

I is for Imagine

Imagine by John Lennon is one of my favorite songs. It has a powerful message. Here is a version sung by the cast of GLEE. I hope you enjoy.

"For Good" - A Love Song To My Sister

Amazing what you find on youtube. This is a cover of "For Good" from the musical Wicked. The duet is by Sam Tsui & Nick Pitera. Nothing beats the original with Kristen Chenowith and Idina Menzel.

I was fortunate enough to see the Broadway performance of Wicked. I recommend the show to everyone. This song is very special to me because it was a song my sister and I dedicated to each other. The words said everything we felt about each other. This song has always tugged at my heart and now it hurts when I listen because My sister died 3 months ago. This song is for you, Jo.

GLEE Bandwagon Here I Come!

OK. Everyone has heard of the FOX Network hit Glee. I have seen the show a few times and it has been enjoyable. It hasn't been one of those shows that I HAVE TO WATCH. But there have been a few. Can we say Rocky Horror!

But my daughter is a huge fan! And she made me listen to this song. I LOVE IT!
Especially in today's society when we are bombarded with reports of bullying. Kids every where are being persecuted because they are different and considered losers. These kids on Glee are considered losers because they are in a glee club and have taken their share of hard knocks because of their individuality.

Please take a moment to listen to the words of this song. It is an upbeat song that speaks to all about the label of being called a "Loser". This 'line steppin, country luvin grandma can't get the song out of my head.



Different doesn't make us losers. Thinking you are better than everybody does.
