I’ve had the joy of experiencing things because of it that many only dream about. Of course, I am talking about music—and I do not see us separating any time soon. My mother tells a funny story about me when I was young. She says that before I was forming complete sentences, I was singing songs. I am happy to share with y’all that Fred does speak in full sentences but when she sings, my heart melts and I am never prouder. Music has always been my passion, and for a long time, it was the only thing I cared about. It saved me more times than I can count and I owe so much of who I am to music. I did all the usual things as a child. I took piano lessons, then voice lessons, sang in church and, of course, joined the school choir the moment I was old enough. My ability was encouraged and I found an indescribable peace when I was singing. I will say, I wasn’t and still ASHLEY am far from a good pianist FOREMAN but when push ACCORDING comes to shove, TO ASHLEY I can peck out a tune. My life really changed when I was in the seventh grade at Drew Central and I was in my fi rst real choir. That class was my motivation for going to school. Each day, I loved walking through those doors and retrieving my tattered black leather folder. With each new semester, new songs were learned and I put all of my energy into being the best I could possibly be. I made state choirs through out the years and probably most impor- tantly, being in choir and chamber choir allowed me to go to college for free. Today, I am lucky enough to be involved with the praise team at my church. They allow me to sing some Sundays and it is a wonderful group of very talented musicians. I also am lucky enough to have family who, while they may not fully understand my passion of music, they love me just the same and take me to concerts. Last week, as part of birthday week, my husband and favorite cousin took me to see Chris Staple- ton in Little Rock. Y’all, if you haven’t ever heard a word I typed, hear me now. Google a Chris Stapleton album, listen to it all. Fall in love. Call me and tell me thank you for sharing this amazing music with you and promptly download all of his music he has ever made. I promise, you will not regret it. I have seen a wide range of awe- some artists perform. When I was child, I was obsessed with Alan Jackson. I’ve seen him several times. It thrills me to know he will be returning to Little Rock next year. I could take up my entire space listing the artists I have listened to and loved but two stick out in my mind specifi cally. The Fed Ex Forum in Memphis, Tenn. brought me Justin Timberlake and Sir Paul McCartney. As many of you know, Justin Timberlake is from Memphis. This concert was like a homecoming for him and the show this man provides is out of this world. Whether you enjoy his amazing tenor voice or not, his show is worth watching. The lights and high-energy dancers will keep you astounding all night. Now, I have no shame in ad- mitting that if I had been alive at the time, I would have been fully submerged in Beatlemania. I have vinyl records, tin-lunch boxes and tons of other collectibles. When I saw that Paul McCartney was touring in the U.S., I knew I had to go. I purchased tickets the moment they went on sale for the Memphis show. It’s not as if this man needs any more praise but I will just say, I hope that I can jump and dance and sing like he does when I am 70. I hope that music has brought as much joy to my readers as it has in my life. cyan pg 1 magenta pg 1 yellow pg 1 Black pg 1
