    Lyrics:
    I love music
    Any kind of music
    I love music
    Just as long as it's grooving
    I love music
    Sweet, sweet music
    Long as it's swinging
    All the joy that it's bringing
    #TheOjays #ILoveMusic #RnB #Soul #Disco

    I’m a younger person, but something I’ve noticed from older music, especially from the 70s and some 80s, is how masterful the arrangement and mixing were. Even if the recording equipment wasn’t the best, they arranged their songs accordingly. They played instruments damn good back then, too. Something about those analog days just hits the spot. In modern digital music it’s hard to find a song that is well mixed and mastered in this fashion, even amongst industry professionals. It’s more “empty” now, there’s often something missing, and sometimes the frequency is even headache-inducing. Nevertheless I enjoy music from all eras, but it seems this style of music recording among popular genres hasn’t been passed down… I would love to hear about what changed from veterans in the industry.

      Bands don't play music like they used to. Drum machines and synthesizers have taken over. A synthesizer cannot match live horn or string arrangements. And a drum machine cannot match a live drummer and live percussion instruments.

    These songs are bittersweet. If you're old enough, they will make you smile because they remind you of good times and the people you shared those good times with. And they will make you burst into tears because 2/3 of the people you shared those good times with are no longer with you 😢

Couldn't tell you how much I've collected otherwise. I plan on leaving all the music to my grandkids. Great grandkids, if I live that long. I've albums from my grandparents to vinyl I still order occasionally from the Net. Soundtracks, you name it: It's in there.
      We owe it to the kids to give them ALL the music. If nothing else, it is the universal language. Peace. x
      ETA: Eldest grandkid just reminded me of the handful of 8 Tracks I still have. Aerosmith's Toys in the Attic, pink Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti and some jazz from Dad.

      There's something about soul music that is absolutely amazing . Only the carefree, self confident, relaxed black people's attitude could have produced it. There's no way the white people who feel lost and naked unless they have a plan from start to finish to rely on could have imagined that a song could be made also on improvisation and still sound perfectly balanced. That's a thing that was used in jazz as well.humanity ought to be grateful for the black people 's huge contribution to the world of music.

    Listening to this song, thinking about my father yesterday. He was in his hospital room sitting up playing pc games and listening to music. The day before yesterday, his left lung collapsed. 24 months ago, his right lung collapsed and was on ventilator for a week or two, I forgot exact time frame. Praise Jesus this time not need a ventilator. At least this time he already was in hospital ( pneumonia ). He was looking and sounded so great the two or three days before lung collapsed. Shows how fast things happen, in unexpected ways. He also has either stage 3 or final stage COPD. Been in hospital since night of his 78th birthday 3 weeks ago.
    This song played on my mind yesterday after talked to nurse and it also played on my mind day or two afterhe was off the ventilator 24 months ago after hearing he was sitting up playing music.
