You and Cy get an absolute thrashing at our house , your Music is of great value to Pauline and I.
Always in the car for road trips ( sometimes a toss up between the Saints or Emmy Lou or Tami Neilson) but we both sing along with your songs.
This year by comparison to yours, has been a good one for me I've grown much and learned a lot about myself. Ive passed the 18 month milestone of being alcohol free ( I can't moderate it so Im best to abstain ) I have restarted playing music for rest home residents and we have some great sing alongs, its awesome to see the joy on the faces of those who have forgotten so much suddenly recognise a song and sometimes even pick up a chorus or two.
What I get from that would be akin I guess, to your realisation that your music has a similar effect on we your listeners it stimulates our synapses
wishing a wonderful 2024 to you and those whom you love x
Happy New Year, Garry! I love hearing this update from you and it’s lovely to hear you’re playing at the rest home again. I was just talking a few days ago with someone about how incredible it is the way music can reach people, even when dementia is making them largely unreachable otherwise. Thanks for your thoughts ☺️
Spot on. It really is important to not judge our existence in relation to the fantasy of social media. We all know people who post their successes and good on them but we also know that life is not all that it seems on there. So yes, stay true to yourself and dismiss the rest, as you say it's relationships on all levels that help us connect and keep us sane.
Totally agree! I’m very happy for all the wonderful successes I see my friends posting - just gotta remind myself not to make it mean anything about what I’m doing ☺️
You know sometimes permission is all that we need, thank you for the permission to use prior years to gauge/evaluate my accomplishmments. :)
I need to give myself that permission sometimes too ☺️ Glad to hear it was helpful!
Thanks Vanessa I hear ya

I love how you remind us that perception is not always reality regarding social media. Thank you for sharing! 😊🎄
A reminder I often need as well! ☺️
