For years, I've always thought that certain songs remind me of certain people in my world. "American Pie" or anything by Dolly always makes me think of my friend, Mel. "Sweet Home Alabama" reminds me of my college friend Katie. I always love thinking about my people based on what is playing on my car radio at any given moment. I frequently send my friends photos of my radio display to let them know I'm thinking of them too. And in fact, it makes me wonder what listening to all kinds of music in my classroom does for my students and their memories. Do they remember sitting on their table tops each morning singing "Good Morning To You" by Greg and Steve as a way to greet each other. Do they remember singing about "Alfredo Potato" by Rick Charette and the silly book we made to go along with it. And do any of these memories remind them of me? Music is truly powerful in this capacity.
This brings me to this idea of having "Car Karaoke" to show you my favorite songs I hear in a given week during my commutes. If I'm having a rough morning, a great song can improve the mood greatly. You just can't be grumpy if you hear "Brick House", even on your crankiest of mornings. In fact, music does for me what a Grande Caramel Mocha Latte does for you. It just doesn't keep me awake at night,
So here is this week's winner slide and it's only Wednesday. I'm not going to make any promises as to how often I will do this. However, I do hope you will chime in to let me know you love the same song, or what you think of when you hear one of my featured songs or any song that you do the same for when you hear it. And yes...I will probably date myself too!
If you have never heard my a.m. song, you must check out the video. It was and is still hysterical to me.
