Music has the power to transport you back in time

I love music.  I love classic rock music, old country music, old R&B music, contemporary Christian music and even a little bit of older rap music.  Its funny how I will hear a song on the radio and say "this is one of my top 10 favorite songs"  but I seem to say that a lot.  Some of my favorites are Sister Golden Hair by America https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIycEe59Auc, Song Sung Blue by Neil Diamond https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru6oaMLzXYA,  Ramblin Man by The Allman Brothers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4WiyxXpyZc, Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VxoXn-0Ezs, most Chicago songs before Peter Cetera took over the group after Terry Kath died and ruined it, lots of Waylon Jennings just because he and Neil Diamond were about the only 2 artists Mom would let me listen to in the car.   It is amazing how a song you haven't heard in a long time can take you back to a time when you were young or when you thought you were in love, to a memory from childhood.  A song that you sang with your mom or dad or partied to as a teenager.  A song you danced the night away to at the local club.  Music has the power to make you young again, to make you relive your glory days.   I hear certain songs that take me back to swimming with my dad at the base pool, songs that I skated to at the skating rink, songs I listened to when I partied at the parkway, songs I listened to when I played pool with Jan, songs I danced to at Cowboy's with my friend John or Memories with my friend Melody, songs that I sang in church as I worshiped God. Music has an amazing ability to transport you back to a time when life seemed simple, when you still had family and friends in your life, to a time when your kids were small or teenagers.  I love music.
