The music of my teen years was a mixture of three very different styles: The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the Mo-Town singers of the 60's
My favorite song by the Beatles is In My Life. I love the lyrics and I always think of my husband when I hear it. We met when I was sixteen years old, and although we did not marry until many, many years after that, he was always in my mind.
I was more greatly influenced by Bob Dylan. None of my friends liked him. I think I was drawn to his poetic style more than anything else, and I think it helped shape me as a poet. I certainly was not involved in or sympathetic to his lifestyle or politics during that period of my life. My favorite by him was Like A Rolling Stone. I must have played that record a million times.
The Mo-Town singers were my favorites, and there are too many to name here, but the Supremes would probably top the list.
Today, I love and enjoy listening to many different styles of music, but mostly lean to instrumental with nature sounds. I like to have my quiet time on the porch with a music cd that includes birds singing. One day, a cardinal sat on a tree branch nearby and called back and forth to the cardinal on the music trac. It was lovely.
My favorite worship music is Messianic / Davidic style. In our synagogue, we dance, wave flags and banners, and praise G-d to this type of music. I love it because it incorporates the Hebrew language, which we want to teach and preserve. I hope you enjoy a sample of this joyous style:
