I love music.  All genres.  My first album, (does that date me?) was Carole King's Tapestry.

I played it over and over.  I loved that the words were written on the back cover so I could sing along.

Last weekend, I saw the Broadway musical "Beautiful -The Carole King Story"  with two of my long time girlfriends.  It was amazing to hear all of the songs Carole had written in the 1950's and 1960's.  When they started playing "Will you love me tomorrow", "It's Too Late", and "You've Got A Friend", I got a little emotional.

Memories came rolling back- laying on my bed singing these songs.  The angst of unrequited love.  And the Friends still by my side!  It was a very good feeling!

I have been singing that  last song, "Beautiful" since I left the theatre.

I came home, and dug out that album.   And started singing!

"You have to get up every morning with a smile on your face, and show the world all the love in your heart, and people are going to treat you better, you will find, yes you will, you're as Beautiful as you feel!!!!"

I am still singing!  Please join me!
