Music is What Feelings Sound Like

Music. It can bring thousands, even sometimes millions of people to the same place and can even make them all feel the same emotions. It’s such a power that musicians, song writers, and performers hold over all of the world. If you sit down and think about it, it’s amazing and awe-inspiring. a1c01d995f9aa2e951ba695fa1dbbd6fMusic is therapy and a mood setter.

  1. I’m very pleased this list includes Destiny’s Child (the Beyoncé of my day), actual oldies, and the ACDC/Ozzy section (which always reminds me of my big brothers working in the shop).

    The Huron County 4-channel radio experience lives on!
