Turn Around

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=urq8m_XBxzA~So Blessed......Just a mini-blog down memory lane......Amazing how our brains work.....NO rhyme or reason, but memories from years ago flooded my mind this afternoon on my way home from the college.  I was thinking of my Grandma Baskin and how, when I was a very young little girl,  she used to play the song Turn Around (shown above) on the piano; and sing this to me.  Her talking and singing voice was as loud as could be..seriously it really was. Ask my family! I fondly remember that I was always amazed at how she could  play the notes without looking at the keys, look right at me, smile, belt out the words in perfect pitch, and make me believe she wrote this for me.  She wanted to be an opera singer in her younger days.  Her soprano voice could be heard from "miles away."  In church she was known as the lead singer! She and Pap-Pap blended well - that is if you could hear him over Grandma!  (On a side note, I am thinking this "Baskin-loudness" was totally inherited and most likely genetic on my father's side of the family.)  She easily could have easily been an opera star. Hmm...maybe she really was in many ways. I encourage you to spend some time down a path that you may not always travel and recall a favorite memory.  I'm considering this to be a pleasant way to self-care <3 Enjoy the video and song and travel with me today.
