Nostalgic Music: My favourite songs from musicals
I absolutely adore musicals. The first musical I ever saw on stage was South Pacific and it made a big impact. Dad had the record of "Joseph and His Technicolored Dreamcoat" and I was mesmerised by it (and would later, at school, star as "Pharoah" in this musical.) At school, I also starred as an orphan in "Oliver!" and loved all the songs. My musical watching reached its zenith in London where I saw many of the great musicals on stage. I also love watching movie musicals. Here is a list of my favourite songs from musicals.

Music
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Red Auerbach
Music, to me, is one of the great gifts of being alive. Nothing makes me feel like music and often it facilitates a sacred release. My preferred way of listening to music is to play it through my headphones and focus mindfully on the music alone, as a form of meditation. At times, I also like to listen to instrumental music while I work.

Heavy Metal gig with the boys
Not my preferred kind of music but a fun night out with the boys. I was very thankful I brought ear plugs as it was decidedly loud!
