Everyone has bad days. The question is how do you deal with them? What tricks do you employ to pick yourself up. I turn to music. Music has a way of filling in the cracks and crevices of a broken heart and help it beat a little stronger. My favorite music is showtunes. That’s what I grew up on. The theatre is where I feel most at home, so the music gives me great comfort. Growing up my Mom and I would sit at the piano and sing for hours on end, just reveling in the music, and of course the emotions of the stories within the lyrics. Although, I have to admit I had forgotten how powerful that music can be in my life. I have been so busy with family and professional commitments that I hadn’t sung anything but my own songs in quite some time. But recently I discovered a Broadway channel on my radio, and suddenly I was flooded with memories. Memories of shows past, and lyrics still on the tip of my tongue. Then
yesterday, when I wasn’t feeling so great, (I have a sinus infection
coming on), one of my favorite songs came on the air, “Home” from the
Tony Award winning musical In The Heights.
