I'll tell you why. Enya was one of my mom's Sunday afternoon jams !
I remember a few years ago whilst I was doing my undergraduate, my headphones fell out whilst I was in the gym... the guy who was next to me insisted that he heard Enya coming from my phone. I fiercely denied it.
Since my Mom passed away some months now, let me tell you a secret. Come closer: I was listening to Enya in the gym...mwa ha ha. Yep, me in my younger buffer days. I am listening to it all now.
My Mom listened to an assortment of Rock classics : Neil Diamond, Enya, and some 90's grunge and alternative rock too. The Red Hot Chili Peppers were another staple of hers.
I sure wish we could have taken her to see them in concert, but the Parkinson's made travelling very difficult for her.
So it's Sunday evening, and I am keeping my Mom's tradition of Sunday evening music.
Alva, I so wanted to see the Beatles after watching them on the Ed Sullivan Show.
The did come to New Orleans, “City Park,” Tickets were $4.00. My parents wouldn’t take me.
I was 9 years old and I adored The Beatles. Mom said, “I don’t want to be around all of those screaming girls.” My response was that I wanted to be one of the screaming girls! LOL 😆
