First try at this blogging....

Hello young people, old people, people who are young who feel old, people who are older who still feel young; It will be my endeavor on this blog to try and discuss music. "No, really? I couldn't tell by your blog title," you say. Well, there is no need to be so snippy; allow me to elaborate. I plan to discuss music and its influence among us as people, highlighting certain songs, or certain bands, and most assuredly certain albums. More often than not I will be searching for that which is popular with young people, or in some cases I might tackle what is being heralded as  the 'best of what's out now,' even to the chagrin of many young people--shockingly it appears many don't like what mediaheads say is popular or 'hot'--so we all can know what your peers are listening to and what it is saying. I know, my head even hurts after reading what I just wrote. 

Oh, side note: I've absolutely never blogged or written much of anything on this blessed tool known as the Internet, so if I am wretched at it, please extend a bit of grace my way. I'm a newbie, and it will hopefully get more bearable over time. After all, this is really for you--Youth and Parents--to use to gauge what it is maybe you've let slip in undiscerned or thought was purely harmless. I'd say a main focus of this blog will be to show you that no music is without its residual effects...and many of  the so-called 'harmless' songs and groups, well let's just say that is not exactly true. On a more positive side I'll try to present bands, songs, and albums (spanning all genres) that I feel will be decent and in many cases, helpful spiritually. It will also be my duty--because of personal convictions--to present ones that have a more excellent degree of musicianship and writing. Christian music can be embarrassingly average or below average in grading, so I'll find ones that are above.

Whew! Are you still there? If you are, journey with me as we explore this thing that almost all humans love, can't live without, must-have as a soundtrack to this moving picture of life, this symphonious, orchestral, emotional, aural thing that we call music.
