Updates On The Music List

Since I wrote my original post in August, I have added some things to the Cloud Player:
The Diving Board by Elton John (Old loyalties die hard.  I have always loved Elton.  Always will.)
Dog Train by Sandra Boynton (Kids music, but fun for grown ups, too.  Just love the words in these songs.)
Favorites and Rarities by Don McLean  (His Tapestry was one of the first LPs I ever owned.  Played it to death.  Love his style.)
Frog Trouble by Sandra Boynton (Another batch of kids music, but just as funny as ever, and not annoying to listen to.)
Heart of Saturday Night by Tom Waits  (Listened to a lot of his music on Pandora, and decided I really liked it.  This was the album that I decided I wanted to own.)
Highwayman 2 by Willie Nelson, Kris Kristopherson, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings  (Liked the first one,  the second one is pretty good as well.)
Platinum and Gold by Lou Reed  (When I realized how many of the artists I liked over the years he had influenced, I decided to go to the source.  Listened a lot on Pandora and then chose the collection.)
Ponder the Mystery by William Shatner (What can I say?  Old loyalties die hard.  :)  )
Time Passages by Al Stewart (Had to get it when so many of the songs kept turning up on Pandora and I realized I still liked them)
Traveling Wilburys Vol 1 (Just had to get it, I had it on cassette once upon a time...)
Traveling Wilburys Vol 3 (Had to complete the set.  Love these guys.)

So many of the songs I listen to speak more to me now than they did when I first heard them, much like some poetry and some art means more, strikes me differently than it would have even 10 years ago.  Things happen in life, we learn things, feel new things, see new things, and it changes us.  Makes us appreciate some things and some people more. 
I am finding as I go along, that it isn't the things themselves that matter, but the people behind them, the memories and emotions they evoke, that make them worth something.  It has been my privilege over the last year or so to meet some very worthwhile people online.  I have also gotten to meet a few of them in person.  The love, laughter and caring that we have shared online is also present when we are together face to face.  Nice to know that this world is not the big, cold, lonely place it was just a few years ago.  Technology has made it possible to find friends all over the world.  So blessed to know you, my online friends, and doubly blessed to have met some of you in "real" life.

That's enough from me for now.
