REMEMBER THE FOUR SEASONS MOTOWN AND GOOD ROCK & ROLL

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with people first...then business Ran Right Realty 636943 licensed to thrill

I was fortunate to still be in my youth when Frankie Valli was releasing one hit song after another. He literally hit the high notes and the Four Seasons back-ups set him up to do it too. I can remember driving around with friends, my girl or even alone and if his song came on, well I reached over, turned it up and got ready to sing it out with Frankie and the boys

RAP MUSIC...sorry but you cannot use the word "music"

The other day, WAY before I saw it, a car approached playing some RAP song with all the windows down. No memroable beat, words or meaning...just some monologue by someone who couldn't keep quiet. It reminded me of someone who had fever and was hallucinating. Now I understand that driver is grooving to his tune, but I can fast forward into his future and there is nothing romantic, uplifting or even memorable with this song. I'm sorry, but you cannot make this up...

CONSIDER THIS...

On loud music lets say Rock & Roll with blaring guitars and back-up, there is some worth there too if it is a catchy and worthy beat. If it is just someone on a drug high with an instrument... move on. I don't know who is worse off. The singer or the listener. You wont want RAP or Psychedelic music played on your anniversaries or birthdays as the years go on. I ma not making this up...

PUPPY LOVE...FIRST LOVE...ICING ON THE LIFE CAKE

Franki Valli sang about love. Boy and girl love. Young man and young woman love.  Love that felt good from just being around the other person and enjoying their company. Some of his songs tell of the other person leaving and the heart is tugged upon. Others speak of the first kiss or outing. Now who hasn't had a boyfriend or a girl friend and a decent song to lock in that experience?

MOTOWN...NOW THAT'S SINGING..and you can dance to it too

While we are on the subject...I also had the privilege of growing up with MOTOWN playing all the time. My friends, listen to the words of any MOTOWN song and be moved from your head to your toes. Again, love fills the air. PLUS...You cannot stand still physically and I would bet all I have that your heart is jumping around too.

Those that had this experience know what I am talking about...

Richie, Funny as I am reading this I have Sirius 60's playing on the Stereo.  I enjoy a song where I can actually make out the words and there are no four letter words running through it.  Give me 60's 70's over this modern music anytime.

Now Richie if I told you I grew up with that music then I think I might be telling you my age and us ladies never reveal that now do we. Smiling  I agree wholeheartedly with you about RAP or HIPHOP. Not music just NOISE POLLUTION.

I love the oldies as they are called now. I prefer to call them the classics, the good stuff. I was a DJ for 18 years and left the business because rap music was just taking over and I just couldn't put up with it.

Sharon...noises should be natural like in nature. The ocean, birds and the wind flowing through trees. After that, a man made sweet song or sound is okay as a compliment. Enter doo wop or the fifties sounds.  Age? Whats that?

Hello Todd...a true connoisseur of the the quality sounds. You left the music gig becasue you would not lend your self to anything less than premium...Yes, to your worthy decision. Todd, I put on all my good stuff when I am washing and sealing the cars..What a pleasure too...Thank you for visiting with me

Barbara Jo...If you ever see someone yelling at someone else and put it to music, that is RAP as far as I am concerned. No heart in it..just lots of anger and hypnotic suggestions...What garbage. oops did I say that? Best BJ...
