Drat! I fell a day behind. I've been listening to The Allman Brothers Band since Thursday. The album I've been listening to, At Fillmore East, is tauted as one of the greatest live rock recordings of all time. The recordings were made over the course of four shows at Manhattan's Fillmore East audiorium. I can see why... it's a fun romp. I've found myself tapping my toes and hands along as I work and clean to this... I can't choose which ones to star, because they're all good.
Next up... Alice in Chains' Dirt...

Challenge 3: March - A Musician/Band a Day #3
Yesterday I listened to the album Blu Blu Blu by The Muhal Richard Abrams Orchestra. When I first started listening I enjoyed it, but as I played it later in the day as a background track to reading, I found it agitating. Then, I don't care much for Jazz... It had a lot of unique sounds, though, I'll give it that.
Tonight, I'm listening to the album Shakin' in the Rafters by The Abyssinian Baptist Choir. It's hard not to be drawn into gospel music... so snappy!

Just to be clear... I don't like Jazz, or the smell of gasoline
10 Things Everyone Likes, but I don't (and that's okay).
In no particular order...
1. Biking (no thank you)
2. Whiskey shots (tastes like destruction)
3. Snow (and all activities that take place in it)
4. Family Guy
5. Basketball
6. Jazz
7. Steak (though, I recently moved it up the scale to, "edible")
8. Twilight (don't get me started on that book, just don't)
9. Slippers
10. Watching random YouTube videos
I bet we all have a list like this, and some of it is probably so well hidden that people actually think you like some of the things on your list. I want to thank Gretchen Rubin who wrote The Happiness Project for telling me that you don't have to do things just because everyone else likes them and you think you're supposed to as well. Don't be rude about it, but let's face it, everyone isn't going to like everything.
I've tried these things, and I don't like them. I would rather spend my time with things I do enjoy, or things that I've been wanting to try. You have no idea how much happiness it will bring you to simply say, "No," to the jazz club, or the basketball game, or that second glass of beer.
