For a few weeks, I've been pushing aside my yearning for a few songs by an inspirational singer, Jami Lula, whose musical effect I love. I haven't easily indulged my want because I gave the particular CD away to a friend several years ago. I know part of the desire is bubbling up because my friend is moving out-of-state by the end of the month. I wonder if she still has the CD, or would know what I'm talking about if I brought the whereabouts of the CD up. The other half of the feeling/thinking about his music comes from my wanting to attend the summer conference of my Church at Asilomar in August, where I know Jami will be the musical director for the week-long event. The saddest part of it, on a personal level, has been being totally bamboozled in trying to just mentally recall even one of the several songs that I know I would like to hear right about now. Well, finally, in driving home from my class tonight, I reminded myself to check CD Baby for snippets of the songs. They were there. And the totally universal a-ha came to me in seeing the album title. It is also the name of one of those songs I was struggling to replay in my head. As soon as I saw that song title, or really, any of them, I DID remember the songs and could replay them in my head. So, now I have the downloads, but I may not have to load up a media player; they're already playing again in my head. |
