Tuesday 4 meme is Music.

 

I've been missing in action for a few days so thought I'd take part in Tuesday 4 (albeit a couple of days late) just to keep in touch :) If you'd like to take part or see what others have to say this is the link   https://tuesdaysplace.blogspot.com/ 

Tuesday 4 is hosted  in memory of Toni Taddeo who started it a few years ago and I hope you will join in with us each week. It is a great way to visit new bloggers, make friends and discover new and interesting things about your friends.

The topic for this week's Tuesday 4 meme is Music..

1. Do you play a musical instrument? 

No, but I'd love to have learned the piano when I was younger. And drums, are they a musical instrument? My son is a drummer and he practised in his bedroom. We had to shut him down at a reasonable time in the evenings though so he didn't upset the neighbours. I also spent a term learning the violin at school, last year at Primary I think, I hated it so didn't go back to learn more. I quite like to listen to one being played though which may be why I was attracted to it to start with.

2. Have you taken music lessons? What kind? If not, is there one you might enjoy learning? It is never too late to start.  You might be surprised at how accomplished it will make you feel.

A friend paid for me to have about half a dozen piano lessons once upon a time, and I can 'kind of read' music as long as it's not complicated.

3. Is there music in your home as background to your day's activities or do you have music playing in your car, etc.?

No, not any more. I always had the radio going or tapes playing before my hubby retired but he has the telly going all day and the rooms are too close together to have both radio and telly on at the same time unfortunately. Yes the radio is usually on in the car.

 If so, what kind of music do you enjoy hearing?

I enjoy music from the 60's, my era.  And singers like Shirly Bassey or Bing Crosby are a couple I grew up listening to and so I learned to appreciate a lot of different styles. I also used to enjoy Cleo Laine. 

What kind of music do you NOT like?

Heavy metal.

4.  Do you have a favorite composer or genre of music that you like most? Maybe you like several. Please share with us your thoughts?

Some jazz, I enjoy piano and I also enjoy listening to big band music. I pretty much just like music in most forms :)

Take care until next time
