spreadLOVE: and they were singin'

Today's heart picture is from a dear friend of mine named Lynda. We befriended one another under the strangest circumstances, and to this day share a very special bond. Today, we discovered we have a new thing to bond over: hearts. She collects them, too, and sent me the one pictured below for Christmas, which now adorns the wall beside the door at the cabin. It's the last thing I see each night when I turn out the light while we're there. Lynda also provided the $31st dollar via this picture in the Heart Month Gallery.

February 3rd, 1959: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper in a plane along with pilot Roger Peterson. Don McLean wrote the song American Pie about February 3rd, the day the music died.

You may have noticed I post a lot of youTUBE music videos on the blog. With a father who was a musician, I learned to love music like oxygen. My best friend Tannis and I have always shared the music that makes up the soundtracks of our lives as they unfold. Sometimes I love a song because the lyrics are powerful, others because the tune is catchy, and others because the song just gives me goosebumps. My iPod scares people. I have everything from Madonna and Nine Inch Nails to Dead Milkmen and Bjork, to Lena Horne and Eartha Kitt, some Ritchie Valens, quite a bit of Yo Yo Ma, a little Beastie Boys, all rounded out with some Michael Buble, Barbra Streisand, Vicious Pink, and Liona Boyd. To name a few.

What are some songs that YOU love?
