No, I’m Not Gonna Stop. Runner-Up in The Soundtrack of Your Year Challenge.
For the first week at our new place the sound of the fountain around the bend echoing off our porch ceiling always made me think it was raining when I stepped outside. Rattling leaves, rumbling highway... so many new sounds to get accustomed to in a new place.

My Musical Journey of 2024. Content Warning.
In January, I listened to a lot of sea shanty style music or Irish jig music. I needed the upbeat tunes to help me stay present for my children as I was fighting an upward battle with feeling like I could never make it out of my life's circumstances whole.

2023 Music Journey Into Outer Space
A Brief Bit About My Music History I grew up listening to 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s music. My dad has been a major influence on my music tastes, having introduced me in my childhood to the wonderful and wacky sounds of new wave and the iconic 70’s and 80’s soft rock and pop songs. I didn’t know who exactly I was listening to back then, but as I grew up, I always remembered them and liked that kind of music. Growing up in the 90’s and early 2000’s, I was naturally exposed to the music coming out at that time. I distinctly remember listening to Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Ricky Martin, and NSYNC on CDs. Interestingly, I never fully took to the music of my own era. I loved the sound of the 80’s. When I was a teenager, I started really paying attention to who and what specifically I was listening to as a kid. Hall & Oates, Journey, Huey Lewis and the News, Chicago, Barry Manilow, Genesis, REO Speedwagon, Simply Red, A Flock of Seagulls, Tears for Fears, Cyndi Lauper, Spandau Ballet, Talking Heads, Styx, Air Supply, and an endless list of so so so many more. I did have some other distinctly different music periods in my life but, from my childhood to 2022, the main music I listened to and preferred was from the decades before my birth.

JM's 2024 Music Recap
Introduction As 2024 ends, everyone is looking back on their Pandora, Spotify, Apple Music, etc., to review the music they listened to and enjoyed during the year. I decided to share some songs from my 2024 Recap on my YouTube Premium. I may or may not do multiple parts of this; TBD.

Music Moves Us Through. Runner-Up in The Soundtrack of Your Year Challenge.
2024, for me, was a seminal time. It was the year of truly starting to know and accept myself. I was able to reconcile with the things that made me resent myself, those rotted, ugly parts of me I had locked away and never thought about—things I never wanted to see. I learned to look myself in the face and see the imperfect person staring back at me, and I learned to keep looking, to not avert my eyes from my true self any longer.

My Harvest Vinyl Collection
Introduction I can't remember for certain the first Harvest record that I bought. My brother bought "Black Night" by Deep Purple and I then bought "In Rock" because both records shared the song "Speed King" which I always wanted to sing live, but, so far, have not had the opportunity. "In Rock" is back in my vinyl collection along with the ones I have included in the lead photograph, and this is a playlist of songs from Harvest Label records that are in my vinyl collection.
