Each stage of my life has had a favorite song or theme. Oh! I loved Janis Joplin singing "Piece O' My Heart" Reflective of how I felt in the 70's, I thought that's what the world wanted from me. Scratchy, gravelly voice, that woman sang my soul. Of course, always a day late and a dollar short, I didn't discover her until she was already dead from an overdose. No matter, I idolized her anyway.
Today may songs lean more to church service than rock & roll or metal. I still love folk songs and oldies take me back to that Janis time. I always wanted to sing just like Joan Baez. I would listen to her hour after hour and my daughter and I still sing "Let Us Break Bread Together" a couple of times a week. Gratefully, no one is judging the performance.

Joan Baez? I remember back in the sixties when my sister in law Beryl, who sadly passed away in her forties, had a huge collection of her music. I was a big Elvis fan, still am, but can remember seeing Billy Fury live at The Odeon Cinema in Aylesbury, England in 1961. I screamed myself hoarse, along with the rest of my school pals. Thought he was wonderful and when he sang Halfway to Paradise I thought I would die!
Have you ever heard Faith Hills Piece of My heart!!! It is awesome:)
