Growing up

We've just left Poland, having spent a few days meeting our new grandson, Castiel.
Hes a little smasher.

Now sitting on the plane listening to my  stored music on my Samsung galaxy note 4....
Among The many classic tunes,  Yeah  by Usher just played.
This always reminds me of our three boys and the first time we went clubbing with them...  The song holds connotations of the transition from little boys to young men.  Seeing them throw some shapes on the dance floor to this song.
Appropriate as we are leaving our little man and his parents behind.  Sad but also many happy memories now that will take us to the next time we meet

Music to enthuse writing

Music can influence writing.
Some prefer classical music.
Some like easy listening,  rock,  symphonic rock...  The options are endless.
My preferred genre to write to includes music by groups such as Yes,  Pink Floyd,  some Deep Purple,  Glenn Hughes,  Camel,  especially song within a song and the whole Stationary Traveller album.
Barclay James Harvest,  kansas, Rush, UFO and even some Van Halen....
They all influence mood,  thinking and ideas especially with the memories some of the tunes trigger...

What are your influenced by?
