It all started the night after my E.R. visit. I\u2019m laying in bed trying to go to sleep, ( I say trying to because A. I have no sleeping pills, and B. even if I did, I was still a little afraid to take one. ) Non the less, I\u2019m lying in bed staring at the ceiling counting the sheep as they jump the fence. And the thought hit me\u2026( and ya know what it sort of hurt\u2026I mean I wasn\u2019t really expecting to be hit..) MUSIC; maybe some soft music would help. So I pick up my iPod and I scroll through playlists and nothing is feeling right. I want to sleep not dance, or sing along\u2026the toe-tapping wasn\u2019t going to help settle the mind.<\/p>\n<p>Please realize that I like and pretty much listen to a wide variety of music\u2026some I like better than others but they all have a beauty to them. Classical, Jazz, Blues, Country\u2026all good.<\/p>\n<p>I have my favorites; I grew up in the era of the portable record player and the 45\u2019s. And to this day, I swear there is nothing that takes me back to fond memories at grandmas than hearing the scratchiness of a Record of NAT KING COLE singing UNFORGETTABLE. Who remembers putting on those 45\u2019s and sitting on the floor of your bedroom singing along to ANDY GIBB, or DIANA ROSS? How about BILLY DON\u2019T BE A HERO or AMERICAN PIE maybe it was PAPER LACE \u00a0and THE NIGHT CHICAGO DIED\u2026such good songs. But let&#8217;s face it, none of those will help me sleep. And while there are so many soundscapes, I\u2019m sad to say those weren\u2019t helping either.<\/p>\n<p>So here I am with a couple of questions, what were some of your favorites growing up and what do you listen too now that relaxes you?<\/p>\n<p>P.S. The soundtrack to the Big Chill most assuredly makes me tap my foot so it\u2019s out too.\u00a0?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\">\n<div class=\"entry-meta\"><span class=\"entry-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/danniemarsden11.wordpress.com\/tag\/45s\/\" rel=\"tag\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-356\" src=\"http:\/\/a1r.3fc.mytemp.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/VictoriousActiveKoalabear-300x225.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>\u00a0<\/a><\/span><span class=\"edit-link\"><a class=\"post-edit-link\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/post\/danniemarsden11.wordpress.com\/928\">Edit<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;Music and it\u2019s affects on the\u00a0mind&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"jp-post-flair\" class=\"sharedaddy sd-rating-enabled sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Dannie MarsdenJanuary 13, 2015 For some reason lately my thoughts have been focused on music, and while I love music, it\u2019s making me a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":357,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4,5,6,7,8,9,10],"class_list":["post-1","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-45s","tag-memories","tag-record-players","tag-relax","tag-sleepless-nights","tag-stress-relieving","tag-toe-tapping"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/danniemarsden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/danniemarsden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/danniemarsden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danniemarsden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danniemarsden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/danniemarsden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":358,"href":"https:\/\/danniemarsden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions\/358"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danniemarsden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/danniemarsden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danniemarsden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danniemarsden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
