This is just going to be one of those posts that is fun for me and really not “autism-related”, except to say that much like DC, I always have music in my head – always. And also much like DC, I can pull out an obscure or very old song or just a line from a song and actually think people will recognize it.
You may (or may not) have noticed that I use quite a few song titles, lyrics or variations thereof as blog titles. I do this because music is always the first thing that pops into my head when giving a title to a blog. Once it is in my head, it’s there and even if the actual song has nothing to do with the post itself, I have to use it and I have to type it the way I am hearing it in my head – e.g. All the……small things.
Yes, I do understand that most or maybe all of you are not reading it the way I am hearing it, or you might just be to young to even recognize some of the song titles or lines. So now, as DC would say ” Sit back, relax and enjoy the music in Mom’s head”:
(The linked text above the videos are links to the actual blog posts)
“Ooh you’re a holiday… every day …such a holiday” – Happy Mother’s Day
Bicycle races are coming your way…. (How the times have changed)
Take the long way home……. #1000speak
“And those whose names were never called when choosing sides for basketball” #1000speak
The ice, the grass and other things…..
(The Rain, the Park and Other Things)
So there you have it…
I’ll save the rest for another time…
(This post and one or two others were pre-written and pre-scheduled before we left on our vacation – I am not sure at the time I am writing what kind, if any internet access I will have once there or just how costly it will be to use. So have a wonderful week to 10 days and we will “see” you when we get back)
Taking it a Step at a Time 
I have a number of favourites – ” A Space Oddity ” ( ” Ground Control to Major Tom ” ) ” Rhapsody in Blue ” Which I must’ve listened to several hundred times around the holidays, ” The Gambler ” & ” The Devil Went Down to Georgia ” ( Otherwise, I’m not one for Country – Western ) Anything by Chicago, A lot of Bear McCreary ( Best known for the scores to BSG & The Walking Dead ) & many, many more. 🙂
AND they DO get stuck in my mind, & I do make references to them.

It gets quite crowded in the part of my brain that houses media ! & I really did try to listen to as many versions of ” Rhapsody in lue ” as possible. Should’ve called the Guinness World Records people !

So so so many favorite songs and genres. I couldn’t start listing them. Let’s just say my Pandora mix is eclectic – right now it is playing Mozart. In a few minutes it could be Billie Holiday and after that Pink Floyd or Adele or Kitaro. 😀

I listen to a LOT of Classical music during the holiday season. It fits the time of year. The rest of the year it’s mostly Jazz, Blues & 60’s – 70’s Rock. Lots of Ella & Procol Harum, a touch of Steppenwolf.

I like rock opera – ” Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, ” Jesus Christ Superstar ( Long Live Ted Neeley ! ) “, ” Tommy “.
