Music To My Ears
I feel like every artist I meet has the same exact goal in life. Spend all the money they make on their art on other people’s art and then die happy. I try to do a little bit of that myself to encourage other fellow right-brainers to keep creating and making life bearable AND beautiful for all of us. Especially when we sign up for yearly passes or buy tickets to the Opera shows in Atlanta.
Especially when it means grabbing yearly passes or tickets to the Atlanta Opera. And when I’m not in the theater hearing modern Beethoven’s like Hans Zimmer’s scores live, I’m streaming them on YouTube. What a miracle this thing called internet is, well that’s going to be a rant for another day.
Here’s my productivity playlist for those of you who would like to know. I used to have a giant list (including some Lo-fi hiphop music), and my YouTube account got suspended. Again, am I the president that people would be interested in knowing what I listen to? Valid question LOL
If you’ve got music that you jam to, please hit me up. As you can see my list is pretty paltry as of now. Language no barrier.
