While I create, I love to listen to music.
I am too old not to think of music in terms of records or albums instead of playlists. These are the ones that keep me singing at Sweet Pea:
From Elvis in Memphis
My one and only celebrity crush was Late '60s Elvis. First, I found my aunt's 45 of ''Suspicious Minds.'' Then, one Saturday afternoon, I caught his last movie, ''A Change of Habit'' where he played a handsome doctor working in the ''ghetto.'' Mary Tyler Moore, an undercover nun, arrived to help, and a conflicted romance ensued. At the end of the movie, she is back in her habit and trying to decide between Elvis and a crucifix. I was only a kid then, but I couldn't help thinking, what is wrong with you, Mary? Did you not see him in his white pants?? And, let's not even get into the sideburns!! Elvis was really getting his shit together in this period. Finished the bad movies, had a hit TV special, opened a live show that critics called ''supernatural,'' and released this album which I think reveals his best work.

This CD got stuck in my car stereo system while I lived up north. After a tough day of trauma work, I would drive up and down the dark ice road and try to reconnect with myself before heading home. One song in particular, ''Cold,'' captured the mood. I was so sorry to hear about Kody Chaisson's sudden death. Glad to see his bandmates, Tim Chaisson and Jake Charron, continuing to make music.
