2010 a year in music

This blog has been hijacked by jeremy, rebecca’s husband and cayden’s dad. I am not much of a writer and is the main reason I've never posted anything. Please enjoy the/my first post of the year....

Music is a wonderful part of life and it is something that has been a part of mine almost 35 years. My mother is and has been a music minister for almost 30 years and used to sing to me all the time. Hated it as a kid but now that I’m older and somewhat wiser, I see the importance of music in a childs life. Now I can’t sing like my mother (my sister got that talent), but my great love of music I accredit to a mix of my mother’s gospel roots and my father’s love of rock n’ roll.

2010, being the first full year of raising cayden, I surrounded him with any, if not all kinds of music. This past year in music brought about some of the best I have heard in a long time. The list I have compiled is in alphabetical order. It is a broad spectrum of MY (not rebecca’s) musical tastes. Most songs cayden has approved with a foot tap, maybe some light singing or a head bob or two. May the music in 2011 be even better.
