I love the Movies & listening to score Arrangements. Also, general easy listening music on Pop Radio

No Music No Life.

Music is in Everything & its all around us. Its In movies, Its on the radio, on your Phone. Its the 1 thing that can't be destroyed.

What's not to love? So many different styles & genres. To me, life would be hard to live if it vanished. We take it for granted sometime.

I'm grateful for all the Arts & Entertainment. As a child & now adult I've learned that magic is the in Radio/TV/ Movies/Magazines/Books/Plays/Comedy&Dramatic improvisational Theatre. The Arts will live long throughout existence & then some.
