the gift of music...

all of the boys I have dated, loved and have had an impact on my life have given me the gift of music at some stage in the relationship...

my first boyfriend Don gave me my love of Savage Garden...I knew who they were when we were dating...but he loved them, and listened to them all the time...and I have to admit, had it not been for that, I might not have bought more than their first album, and not developed my love for Darren Hayes, the frontman. I will remember Don playing "to the moon and back" for me one of the first nights I spent in his bed and just being with him...

JD came along and introduced me to a musical called Jekyll and Hyde and thus, to the voice of Linda Eder...who turned out to be a voice I would listen to after several other bfs went by the wayside. I don't remember when or how I got introduced to the show by JD...but I will always remember a trip to 'topher's on Long Island and singing along...and being told by JD to not sing...harsh! ;-p

Sean re-introduced me to Bon Jovi...yes, I know, Bon Jovi. I like him...no judging the musical taste. Besides, I have to admit that the new CD has at least two tracks on it that I like. Sean's favorite is (You Want to) Make a Memory...and we listened to it over and over again a few weeks ago after the CD came out. He even told me we have many memories to make together, that's yet to be seen, but the hope is there. My favorite is Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore, the duet with Leann Rimes. Say nothing people...the voices actually blend nicely.

I guess my point in all of this is...these are my memories of special people in my life, and whenever I hear the songs or voices, I think of the boys that introduced me to them. So...thanks for the memories...and here's to more to come! Music is everlasting. And this is not to say that other boys haven't introduced me to music that I love...'topher, joey...I'm just choosing to blog about bfs right now...it's my mood and my blog dammit!
