M is for Music

Of all sorts.













I can't believe I only have one photo of my own guitar (the teal one I'm holding above). I have been playing guitar on and off (mostly off) since 3rd grade... and that's not even my only guitar.

I am not a huge photographer, but I am usually the one behind the camera in my group of friends. I am sad I have no photos of the Shabbat dinners that turn into sing-alongs, or singing with my roommates through the years. I don't have any photos of singing at camp, or my guitar lessons, or any proof at all that I used to play the saxophone and the bells.

The iPod is a fitting ending to a view of my music, however. That little device has changed my life. I'm on iPod number two now, and they are my tie to modern music, to current pop and to my old favorites Joni Mitchell and Dylan. I use it for my running podcasts for Couch to 5k, and I use it to keep myself sane when the world around me is too chaotic. It's my perfect device, giving me music whenever I need it. And everyone needs music in their life.
