He would probably still be asking my sisters and I listen to the newest hits, trying to write down the Rap Music Lyrics for his band! I’d probably be telling him to just go on the Internet to get the lyrics! There is a website called www.rapartists.com that is dedicated to everything related to the rap artists – it has bios, lyrics, pictures, and the latest news in the industry, everything he would have needed!

If my father were still in the business
We’re from a musical family
I know it sounds crazy, but my father was a rock musician when I was a kid. My sisters and I loved to go watch his band perform. He had a band with a lead guitarist, a drummer, a singer, and my father played the electric organ. That band never made “the big time” but they were a very popular band for private parties; they had “gigs” every single Friday and Saturday night, and an occasional “gig” on other special occasions too. Whenever a new pop song hit the charts, my father would run out and buy the record and bring it home and make my sisters and I listen to the song over and over and over again to write down the lyrics for him, while he would listen to the music and try to figure out how to play it. I cannot tell you how quickly we got sick of listening to “American Pie!”
Aging
I can remember as a little girl, thinking that I would stay young forever. I remember thinking that anyone over the age of thirty is “old.” I remember seeing elderly people in hospitals and being scared by their wrinkles and white hair and age spots. I remember hearing people say “you’re only as old as you feel!”
Well, I don’t feel old, but I’m getting old looking and I’m not happy about it. My hair is graying and the wrinkles are getting visible. I’m starting to notice some age spots! I still feel twenty but look fifty. And I don’t like it! Not one single bit!
I tried dying my hair once
I have been under a lot of “encouragement” from friends and family to dye my hair, so I will look younger. I am getting pretty gray, that’s for sure!
I tried dying my hair once, back around ten years ago. It was a total disaster! I made a HUGE mess, ruined several towels AND the shower curtain, and the dye didn’t even cover the gray hair at all! So I decided that I would not try it again, I considered that a lesson learned that I was wasting my time, money, and energy on trying to look younger than I am.
So, color me gray! LOLOL!
