For Christmas, Santa brought me the album "The Essential Alabama". Today was the first day I thought about playing music while I update the organization on my desk and call clients. I think I was tickled to listen to music from yesterday's Discover Leadership training in Sacramento with Karen Keeney.
I remember the first Alabama album I bought -- they were a "brand new" group and I absolutely fell in love with their sound, their lyrics -- Alabama was a big part of the notes of my life at one time. Listening to these familiar songs today I feel light, blessed, happy and I cannot help but blend my notes with theirs (decent karaoke LOL).
Hearing Walter Brennan's voice "someday I'm gonna climb that mountain ..." brought me back to The Real McCoys, and sweet toothless grins, and one of the finest character actors that I absolutely adored. I wanted to someday name a son "Brennan" ... he was my TV grandfather -- wise, and kind, with a great sense of humor.
Alabama was such a master at a love song. Even today, nearly 30 years later, their vocals are exquisite. Combined with the feeling behind the words and it seems like only yesterday I bought that album.
They retired some years back, I hope the years out of the spotlight have been kind. Feels so right ...
