...too many to name. This is just a few off the top of my head. I can listen to Roger and Sean play all night, 8 days a week. - About Me:
- I will fill out the rest of my bio at a later date.
I'm a 40 year old, polish girl originally from the South Hills. I'm currently enjoying life with my guy Tom and our dog Bear. I enjoy being turned on to new artists and I'm open to all music, as long as it's good. My Mother & Father raised my three older sisters and me on music, specifically r&b. Growing up, the radio dial was always set to WAMO. The tv was hardly ever on. That's the way it should be. Growing up, our house was all about music; listening or learing how to play an instrument.
I was conceived the summer of 69... which explains a lot. My parents looked exactly like Sony & Cher. Paul McCartney announced the Beatles were breaking up the day I was born, so I fashion myself to be a Yoko Ono of sorts... A Bridge Over Troubled Water was the number one song, Nixon was President and it was also the day the Apollo 13 shuttle almost didn't make it back home.
My Father was a general contractor and built an amazing music room in our house that had every instrument you can think of. I think he was hoping for a Jackson 5 or Partridge Family out of us girls, which obviously didn't happen. He taught me how to listen to music, shoot pool, try food before you say you don't like it, use power tools before I could ride a bike and to stand up for myself. I miss Him.
I played the drums pretty much my entire childhood. I'm currently teaching myself the guitar. I sat down at a drum set a while ago at someone's house and it felt so good. It took me back. I knew I was going to go to Drum World to pick up a scrap kit that same week and I did. (I still have my Zildjian symbols from my childhood.) I can't think of a better creative outlet than music. It's like singing and dancing; you don't have to be good to enjoy it. (You can add golf to that list.) I'm creating a music room in our house similar to the one we had growing up.
I once read that a life without music and someone you love to share it with, isn't worth living. I like that. Without music, you're not living, you're just existing.
Peace & Love to all of my fellow music lovers,
Lisa
