On Certain Instrumental Tunes

Unlike many radio stations, our house continued to play plenty of Christmas music after Christmas Day. This song is one, where, once I heard it, I felt like it was time for Christmas (like these, I suppose 😉) - Christmas could come - a feeling of completion. ♫ "Me, I want a hula hoop." 🎝 Is a particularly awesome line. 😍😂 It could make my day. Foolish, yes. True, also yes. 😊😂

'Tis a very good thing I can laugh at myself. 😏 Not so much back in those days when our house would be churning out the Christmas tunes clear through Epiphany (beyond? 😎, I didn't keep track; I also wouldn't doubt it either).

I've a soft spot for instrumental, although I don't listen to it with any amount of regularity, I do think that, just as it could be difficult to pick just one of these to "get started", there's quite a few of these as well. When I say, "get started", I mean when there's a promo for the artist, or a buddy (friend or relative, or friend that's a relative 😁) mentions, "Hey, I know about this musical artist...You might want to check out their work..." And then you look up that artist & you're looking at the options available, &, well, you could sift through YouTube & make a "trial & error" out of their work, or ... You could try & pick just one to add to your personal collection. "GL!" as they say in shorthand. (for "good luck" 😊).

Their music sooths me. It makes me feel comfortable like a soft & gentle hug. I first came to know of their music now at Christmastime all those years ago. When I'd hear their Christmas song I'd feel like I got to pick out the music, as if I were asked, "What would you like to hear? Let's put that one on next."

More recently I happened to be watching a morning show (one of the major 7 a.m. networks) & their musical guest that day played this. I think it was just later that day when I bought it for myself. If not, it was likely within the week. Great beat; great spirit; great passion. When I listen to this song I'm feeling the music. I stop what I'm doing & I'm in the music just as someone who loves to sing might stop & put their soul into an instant rendition of a random radio tune.
