Love is in my air (pt 1)

I need to blog like instantly when I think of things. After two babies and a delusional husband (joking lol), my short-term memory is so bad. Those who can relate, know what I am going through. I've done that "where are my glasses? oh they're on my head" ordeal like at least ten times (though I think I'm underestimating). I've been wearing glasses for about 3 years? But this is just one of the many examples.

Anyway, the piano used to be the instrument to my heart. I love the sound of it. I like trance too, and that's usually to calm & soothe my soul...ahem anger too. About two years ago, Babe introduced me to the song "Which to bury us or the hatchet by Relient K". I rarely like alternative/rock songs but this one was ROCKIN'! (Sorry I am not up to code on the cool lingo, even at my age and all). The lyrics are great but that banjo solo just makes me melt everytime I hear it! In fact, I'm listening to it right now as I'm typing this lol. Another artist, mister Sufjan Stevens, again introduced to me by Babe (don't I just love him), mainly uses the banjo in his songs. I didn't take to him at first but his banjo skills are beyond amazing. His song "For the widows in paradise, for the fatherless in Ypsilanti" is filled with the sounds of the banjo. Last but not least the current song on my Myspace page, Feist's "1 2 3 4" is cheesy fun & the banjo just adds so much more to it. Move over piano, guitar, etc...the banjo is taking over (at least for me)!

Here are the links to youtube if you want to check them out. I know some people are too lazy to look them up so I'll make it easier and add links :D
