STEPPIN' OUT!!
Everyone who knows me knows I LOVE the best band in the whole world, Def Leppard ~ and they also know that my second favourite type of music is Classical music. Well tomorrow night I am finally making a long-time wish of mine come true, and I am going to the symphony! I've seen the Lepps live 4 times now, and it's absolutely the most exciting experience for me every time. But although I've long had the wish to experience the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra playing the old master's Classical music, I've never yet been. I don't know why either, as it was such an easy thing to do!! A little while ago my best friend and I were talking about it (she's been before) and I thought "well why don't I too??" So.....to make a long story short, I got online and got tickets ~ for her and I and for my sister Pammie (she's my standing "date" for all Lepp concerts and the one who turned me on to them) who also loves Classical music. Tomorrow night's the big night, and I'm soooo looking forward to it!
Where I work, I am in a cashroom all day, and because it's a room of it's own and away from the public, we are allowed to have music playing in the background. There are several ladies there that come in on my breaks to relieve me. I always have soft music playing, whether it's classical or soothing nature sounds put to beautiful piano tunes.... and when the relief cashiers come in they are always commenting on how they love being in there "in all the good energy" and soft music, and they always refer to being in there as "zenning out". LOL Yesterday after work there was a staff meeting, and they put on a themed dinner for us first, and one of the ladies who was planning the meal came and borrowed my CD/radio/tape player early in the afternoon to set up for the meeting. It was so quiet in there without my tunes and it felt "empty". I'd have to admit that music has always been a huge part of my life; growing up hearing my parents' fav country music, then getting totally turned on to the Beatles when they came out, and the Stones, and all the way down the line to Def Leppard. In between, lots of other great stuff from Bon Jovi and AC/DC to, as I said, Classical music. I can't imagine my life without it. During the good times it's uplifting and fun, and during the lowest parts of my life, it is healing.......so healing.
And the other thing is that through music I've made some really wonderful on-line friends, through the BEST Def Leppard website out there, Savage Attitude. (just a little plug there, Lors! LOL) There's several ladies on there who I've become very fond of, and we call ourselves a "family"...... and it all happened because of music really! Anyway I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's musical experience with a lot of enthusiasm, and I'll let you know how it was ~
~~ wishing you all peace and great tunes!
