You grew up to be quite a couch potato though. All you ever did was listen to songs and play them too. You love music. You can sing, play the keyboard, and guitar, and even the violin.  Music lights the soul and makes any spirit bright. What fun it is to ride and sing, even if you mess up sometimes.
