When summer arrives, so does a summer soundtrack. A person may be taking a road trip or a summer vacation. Both of these will require a reputable size music base. Spending a week by the lake with the family or at the beach with friends will leave us with fond memories, but the music will make it all worthwhile. Nowadays, everyone has an iPOD that they keep their music on, but do you have a specific playlist you use for certain times of the year? What is your favorite summer playlist?
Whether you are a fan of the hard copy CD or you are more apt to download music from iTunes, music for the holidays is a must. A person can obtain music in many ways, even the classics, like Sinatra or Martin. Music has always had the opportunity to speak to people. It is just a matter of how a person perceives it that makes the message clear.
This year when someone asks you for a piece of music, you may want to evaluate why this person asked for that particular artist. Is it because it is what if popular right now? Does the music of that artist really speak to that person? The kind of music can also be a question of what the meaning is. For instance, a person who asks for Lady GaGa, may be asking for her popularity at the moment or her words may speak to them on a deeper level. You may question the choices a person makes, but you may also not quite understand what a person sees in an artist. Sit back and listen, you may find out.
Cyndi Lauper and Dr. John made a stop in Orlando, Florida on their From Memphis to New Orleans recent tour. The House of Blues hosted this event. Dr. John opened the show with dual pianos facing each other. Walking out with a cane, he sat down and began to play. The crowd sang along and even danced to the tunes. He did all of his hit songs and even got up to dance himself. The crowd cheered quite loudly when he did this. Playing both pianos as he straddled the seat in between seemed to thrill the crowd. His performance leads into an explosive performance by Cyndi Lauper.
Cyndi walked out on the stage with the New York attitude you knew she would have. After kicking the photographer out of the pit, she explained that she did not like to have cameras in her face. She went right into a classic song from her. Most of her songs were from the 80s, but she has some new ones she worked into the set to the delight of the crowd. She danced all over the stage. Her energy fed the crowd. As much as she gave to us, we gave to her. During a few songs, she got down into the photo pit and leaned into the audience to sing. It was a joy to see her want to be a part of crowd. She has been doing this for years and will continue to do so with very much success.
