I am sitting here listening to an album I love. The joy of the music inspired me to start writing and some fond memories bubbled up.

We were driving around with friends and one of them said, “This radio station is amazing! What is it?” I replied, “It’s WJIM (my iPod plugged into the car).” We all laughed, but it’s true. The ability to easily make your own playlists and listen to your perfect “radio station” anywhere is life-changing.

We almost always have music playing in our house. So much so, that a contractor working on our flat in London for a few days asked Trish if we were in the music business. I guess it’s a bit unusual to see people working at home listening to music all day. I’m not sure I could handle going back to an office environment.

At handstand class one day, the teacher asked if anyone had music. I put on a playlist and they really liked it. After that, he often asked me to play my music. This spurred connections with many people asking me about my choices and sometimes laughing about some of the classics that I played that brought back memories for them.

I am always looking for new music to try. If you could persuade me to listen to one album that I must experience, what would it be?
