Reminisce.

I recently rediscovered my music from high school.  I had placed it in the trunk of our car from the moment we picked it up the day we moved to Seattle and haven’t looked at it since.  That is, until I got my video Ipod and wanted to completely furnish it.

I think it is true for most people, but the music that I hold must influential in my life is generally the music I listened to in High School.

So this is what I found in my old CD book.

• 10 Pearl Jam CD’s
• 4 Creed CD’s
• 3 311 CD’s
• The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
• 6 DC Talk CD’s
• 3 All Star United CD’s
• 5 2Pac CD’s
• Some random worship CD’s
• 4 Our Lady Peace CD’s
• 11 Dave Matthews Band CD’s
• 2 Jewel CD’s
• The Verve Pipe
• 3 Live CD’s
• Bush’s Sixteen Stone CD
• Will Smith’s Big Willie Style CC
• Way too many Third Day CD’s

So some of these I’m grateful that I rediscovered them, and others, well, their rediscovery is short and although I digitalized all of them I probably won’t listen to them.  It is just fun to have them complement my over 5200 song collection.

Now to reminisce more….remember ‘mixed tapes?’   Remember the first tape you bought (Petra — On Fire) Remember the first CD you bought? (DC Talk — Free at Last ) Remember the first CD you burned?  (2pac’s Greatest hits)  Remember what song(s) made you realize that there was a whole world beyond Christian music?  (whoop there it is and nirvana).

Man, those were the days, weren’t they?

peace
