The Soundtrack of your life

Dear Sam,

I hope you always love music.  You have been around music on a regular basis since before you were ever born.  It's amazing how much music will play a part in your life.  Like smell, music can take you back to memories of your past like a time travel device.  They'll take you to happy times, sad times and just, well, just take you back.  I realize more and more how music can also help you remember how to live-by giving you hope, faith and determination.  Live like you've got your mama watching over you or a child watching you.  Tell others when you're sorry and don't let people walk all over you.  Live like you're dying and don't forget you'll always be my baby.

I thought I'd jot down some of the songs that you may recognize later in life and hope you'll remember the good times.

  • Three Little Birds by Bob Marley (video)
  • Amazing Grace
  • The City of New Orleans
  • Theme song to Brave
  • Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season
  • Highway to Hell aka as Highway to Help by a certain Sam 
  • Hard Times by Arlo Guthrie
