On Discovering New Music

Last night I had to go into work for a couple of hours, and I took Abby's iPod because she was using mine. I thought it would be a good opportunity to see some of what she's listening to. She usually has and artist or two I haven't heard and really come to like.

I put it on shuffle and every once in a while a song would come on that I hadn't heard before. More than once, I found myself thinking, "Hey, this is pretty good. Different, but sounds like something I might like." Just as the thought occured, the lyrics would begin. "The Itsy, Bitsy Spider, walked up the water spout . . ." or my favorite of the evening, "Momma's little baby likes, shortnin', shortnin, Momma's little baby loves shortnin' bread." Tells you a lot about why I need help discovering new music.

You gotta love a mom who keeps music for the entire family on her iPod!
