Ms. Smith…

Because I read my emails from the top to the bottom, and yours was the first that came in, and the last to be read I replied this earlier to another post, and don’t have the physical strength to type it all out again, as I was in the ER last night getting a cath bag in place so I can live until my surgery to save my life, and it’s not very comfortable, I must say…anyway…songs and artists that inspire my life:

I would have to say I’ve done my best to do it my way, and still have a long way to go.

And the two songs my life would be most defined by are both by Don Henley, however they are only the tip of the iceberg on songs that inspire my life and works.

Through Your Hands, Michael The Movie Soundtrack, and

My Thanksgiving, from Inside Job. …both albums are Legendary to me.

They both define very specific moments of awareness and actual moments of truth. Of course I was raised on The Eagles once I found music and follow each artist that comprised that band to the new works that inspire them.

I’m a word girl…so Rocking The Paradise, by Styx would be a close third, and I followed Tommy and Jack into Damn Yankees, and both bands are very relevant even today, when you listen to your music as artistic composition and include words in that equation.

…Heaven’s Already Here, by Collective Soul…would have to be in there somewhere. 

There is a lot of Stevie Nicks, and Harry Connick Jr. in that list …

AC/DC, KISS, Alice Cooper, Sammy Hagar, and so many more. I even am inspired by some country too…

Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Faith Hill, John Michael Montgomery…

I’m an All American Girl.
