I Babble On

baby talk bla bla

Can you imagine a world without music? No songs, no tunes, no rock, no roll, no jazz, no hymns, no boogie-woogie, no country-western, no symphonies. Do not sing in the shower. N Lovers whistling Dixie. Would not have songs to romance to the. There would be no such thing as "Our Song. "Sinatra could not fly to the moon. Elvis could not complain about people stepping on his blue suede shoes. Tony Bennett would have to write a letter about how he left his heart in San Francisco. Willie might go on the road again, but without guitar. And Ray Charles would, however, we look strange go on stage without a piano, telling us that Georgia is in his mind. Then when it came to the wedding day, what would the bride March Down the Isle she? A poem? Silence? Applause? And when the happy couple left the church together, would they do the barking dogs in the neighborhood, or perhaps all invited to talk at once? And at the reception, what would they dance?

And when those birthdays roll, we could all recite together in a monotone "Happy birthday to you." And when we have calls that would – Soldiers March to? This would take the place of music in parades, since there would be no marching bands? John Philip Sousa would have obtained a day job. July 4th and it would be no patriotic songs – just speeches. At Christmas time there would be no Christmas carols. No music uplifting Gospel Easter, no hymns in church. And can you imagine the radio without music? Nothing but news and talk shows and bla bla bla bla …. I do not know not for you, but I have hitherto just thinking about it. I walked to the piano now to celebrate the fact that our Creator gave us the magnificent and inspiring and uplifting gift of music we take for granted.
