Sounds of the Trombone
Like most people I enjoy music.
I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s so I love rock and roll. It moves me, grabs me and touches my soul.
I appreciate the depth of classical music.
I find jazz a welcome refreshment.
But there is one distinctive sound that always catches my ear and lifts me no matter what genre of music. That is the sound of a trombone.
I played the trombone in the high school band. There were better trombone players that me. Sometimes the music teacher centered me out to play a solo or replay a misplayed part. That opportunity to solo was a mixed blessing because I was excited to play the solo and anxious about making a mistake.
Even when I messed up and felt embarrassed – I still enjoyed playing the trombone.
When you are feeling good almost any music that you like will feel good.
But when you are down – only the music that you love will lift you.
On your playlist add a directory for “Make me feel good”. That’s the songs that change you from down to up.
Play them as often as you like and need to hear them.
