Most of the time I go about my life taking care of the things that need taking care of and getting stuff done. I’m very bad about the ‘stop and smell the roses’ concept. In addition to them making me sick…. Oh, I digress. So I go about my business and then forget to do the things I really like to do or whatever.
A good example of this for me is music. I like music a lot. I generally prefer music to tv. Many times if my tv is one, it’s on one of the music choice channels. I have an eclectic collection of music. And some of what I’ve got is really good for setting a mood or feeling. Some is just good stuff. I have caught myself listing to my ipod shuffle and thinking, ‘wow, I’ve got some good stuff. I should listen to it more.’ Really, I’ve thought that. I’ve put something on to listen to and realised how much I enjoyed it and wondered why I don’t put that on more often.
Some of the music I really enjoy listening to is a certain type of guitar music. Hey, I play, I have a bias. I like the Gipsy/Flamenco/classical/spanish guitar type of music. Yes. Many years ago. Ok about 20. I say a music video by the group Gipsy Kings. I was hooked from then on. I still have the cassette of the first album from then. Yep it’s got “Bombaleo” on it. For many years I would see that they were going to have a show and I would think how I would like to see them and then I would think how the show was probably sold out or I might decided that due to circumstances it just wouldn’t be feasible. So I never went to see them. Until this week.
Yes, I waited 20 years to see the Gipsy Kings. Silly, and true. I was not disappointed though. I didn’t regret the price of the ticket or the time out or any of that. I so enjoyed myself. I had an awesome seat and I was truly content. I realised that if I were to put on their music, or similar, every evening when I got home and sit down for a few minutes to listen to them and relax, I would be so content, I would get nothing else done at all.
Cheers
