MUSIC. It is the great equalizer. It is a vehicle for escape, it can revive energy. For me, music is an everyday essential. Each of us has favorites that fall in several catagories. It would be impossible to name one favorite song, wouldn't it? Our interests change, evolve. Maybe choosing a top ten wouldn't be as hard. There are songs we love because they let us sing along loudly in the car. There are songs we love because they have a beautiful melody, or touching lyrics. We were watching VH-1 this weekend as they tracked the top 100 songs of the 80's. Great fun remembering all the tunes from then....songs we heard in clubs, or concerts we went to...or singles we bought. Made me think of being in England, in 1984 when I met my husband. Lots of records (yes, vinyl!) were brought home from that trip....amongst them "NOW That's What I Call Music, Volume 4". A time capsule of tunes from that year. For the past few years I have been making cds with all my favorite current hits. My own version of That's What I Call Music.
So about the CRUSADE. Think about your favorite music that you are listening to NOW. Journal about it....even if it's just writing down the singles and the names of the bands. You may have several lists. You may be inspired to just journal about one song, or one band. Make a time capsule of your music for 2006. A few years from now you'll be glad you did. You don't have to use any stamps....interpret the challenge your own way. Post a link to your art in the comments and I'll start compiling a list of team players as they come in. Enter as many times as you want. DUE DATE FOR TOP HAT DRAWING: 11/30.
