Songs in the Key of MY Life – Day 1

Recently, I’ve read a number of articles of how music affects people and why we are drawn to it. I also was looking at my IPod one day and wondered if someone found it, what type of person would they assume I was. Probably would think I had split personalities and when it comes to music, that’s probably true. I have a bit of everything on my IPod from classical to children’s, rock to country and of course, a heavy dose of 70’s and 80’s music.

I got the idea to share a song a day, with a bit of commentary of why or if it means something to me. After all, I think we all have songs that when we hear them, we are transported back to a certain place or time. Music can instantly change our mood or create one. It’s magic.

Since it is my first day writing this, I looked on my IPod at the artists beginning with “A” and found Gregg Allman’s “I’m No Angel.” I don’t know much about Gregg except that he was married to Cher and played with his brothers and some other musicians in The Allman Brothers band.  I do know that this song is an anthem for liking a bad boy and let’s face it, haven’t we all?

The weather is great today here in the DC area and this is a perfect song to blare in the car with the windows rolled down. Enjoy!
