Gots to have tunes!

So, some authors have to have peace and quiet when they write, but not me. I have to have my tunes. I'm worthless without them.  I can't focus, I can barely string five words together without it. I don't have a favorite artist per se but a favorite station, as I listen to iheartradio on the computer. Right now I have a Billy Joel station selected as I work on Gabriel's Light.  Here's some of the eye candy I listen to....

The incomparable Billy Joel - a story teller

 I love his music, whether it's Songs from an Italian Restaurant or Good-bye Saigon

he has a knack for telling a story with his lyrics.  Not to mention he's a wonderful songwriter.

Bryan Adams - the bad boy from Canada

 I fell in love with this guy the first time I heard the song Everything I do from 

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.  I must've played it to death. 

Iconic 80's Band from the Bay Area

 Who doesn't recall Journey?  Whether it's Separate Ways or Don't Stop Believing it 

inspiration can be found in their music.

Stevie Knicks - songstress extrodinaire

First with Fleetwood Mac, she couldn't be contained 

and moved onto a solo career.  Ethereal and petite, she has a voice that doesn't quit.

Landslide is one of my favorite songs by her. 

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY ALL TIME FAVORITE....

The iconic Phil Collins

My kids know him as the guy that wrote the soundtrack 

for Tarzan but I remember when he was crooning with

Genesis, singing I Can't Dance.  As he moved onto a single career which 

almost eclipsed his success with Genesis. You're No Son of Mine is my favorite song.
