"I love music ," music has been and will always be a major part of my life.
How many others in this world are like me? I have to be listening to music when I drive, when I read, when I work and just when I need to think. I have a very eclectic taste in music, I love just about everything . Let's Talk Music is a new section to my blog. I will be talking about different things pertaining to music. Groups, instruments, tours, anything I can think of. I will try to spark your interests on groups and artists you may have never heard of and some you will know and love already. I am a Gen Xer and I grew up in the 70s, teenager in the 80s, young adult in the 90s. The music from those times have changed somewhat and the way we receive our music has drastically changed. I remember when they came out with the compact disc "aka the CD." I was so excited because they said you got in person quality and clarity. They failed to mention... you were going to need to buy a player that was going to cost you, at that time...an arm, leg and a foot!! LOL... I also wanted to replace all of my vinyl and cassettes to CDs. I was in love with the sound quality and the small compactness of the discs. I still purchase CDs today but my main source of music now is "STREAMING." I do purchase vinyl too but my main go to, is streaming. I wont mention my source but I do use one of the main streaming apps for my music enjoyment. Music and Podcasts can be enjoyed in full stereo and all you need is a device and internet. I just recently have had the joy of sharing my music likes and dislikes with my daughter Charlee. Charlee is eleven going on thirty... LOL!!! I have had the pleasure of "SHARING" my CDs and albums with her also. Charlee's idea of sharing is taking it and you will never see it again.... LOL!! I was very pleased when I noticed her music tastes are much like mine. I really didn't have much influence on her choices because she always had her ear-pods in while we were in the car but she pretty much knew who my favorite musicians were. I did surprise her when she expressed her liking for some of the metal groups . She was very happy to find that I had a lot of the CDs she wanted. I am your typical music freak, I have the shirts, memorabilia, CDs, albums and hours and hours of downloaded streaming material. I am happy to say that my son Travis will be turning twenty-two in May. Travis loves music too, and he is a self taught guitar player and he also likes the same music I do. Charlee will be twelve in April this year and she will be taking guitar lessons this summer. I may have a future Lita Ford or Joan Jett in the works!!! LOL I want to thank you all for taking the time to read and share your thoughts with me. I do have a comment section so feel free to comment below, let me know your thoughts on this topic. I look forward to our musical journey together so until next time... rock on!! Lisa Bailey-Owens🤘

I love Lisa's Blog and now that she is adding Let's Talk Music I feel it will only grow a bigger audience. I too have a passion for music and am glad to share articles and comments to Lisa's Blog! I was 10 years old in 1970 so I grew up on 70s music and have a soft spot for that music generation. Thanks Lisa!! From the Executive Director of Help Save The Music, Julie Correll.

It’s so amazing to look back at the different ways music has been available to me in my lifetime. I remember listening to vinyl at my grandmother’s house. We would sneak the portable player out and dig through the old 45s of Johnny Cash and others that my aunts and uncles had left behind when they grew up. I guess that is where I first fell in love with the sounds of the vinyl itself, BUT I was always in love with the artwork and design of the sleeves.
