Musical Tastes

LOL.

Okay, here is the scoop. Lately I have been going through some of my more 'obscure' musical collections on my computer, and i took a bunch of songs and organized them into four groupings, deciding that I would burn four CDs. These CDs would consist mainly of music by Christian musicians (notice I avoid the incorrect label, "Christian music") that I listened to during some of my more formative years. Yup, the classics. I threw in a few more modern songs, just to round things out.

So far, i have burned and listened to 3 albums worth of tunes. And i discovered something quite profound..."only i have good taste in music in my home."

Apparently, i am now encouraged by my loved ones to not bother to play my favourite old tunes when they are anywhere within listening distance. At 9 years old, I really believe that Chelsea would say she liked it if her mom did. But it seems that the 7 years difference in age between Rachelle and I make a very large gap between our musical likes and dislikes ( I like my music; she says what i listen to isn't music).


I titled my four CDs (one still to burn, and listen to jubilantly on my headphones) "Christian Rock Instant Classics". Here, for those interested (you may copy my ideas if you wish to, free of charge!

Pretty deep stuff, ain't it? Yup, a look inside my head, courtesy of the Birfday Boy.

Toodles 'til next time, y'all
