As My Guitar Lies Bleeding in my Arms

Music... poetry without any words
Hey there. I love music. I've always been into music since as far back as I can remember. From my early days playing on a recorder to my later years jamming on a guitar. I strongly believe that music can transcend words.  A beautifully crafted piece of music can saw much, much more than any words can.  As a kid, I would spend more than enough time playing the recorder.  I still remember how to play the thing too.  lol  That seed led to me play more instruments throughout my years:  flute, trumpet, keyboard, bass, guitar...  When I was feeling a little upbeat, I would grab the flute and play.  When I was feeling tense, I would grab my guitar and play.  Guitar...  I'm particularly proud of being to play guitar.  Not because it's "cool" or anything of that sort, but because it was a new instrument for me to learn to play.  The guitar that I learned on  was a 20 fret Fender Stratocaster that was gifted to me by my uncle from Minnesota (which I, in turned, gifted to my son).  Soon after, I picked up an "easy" to learn guitar book with Metallica songs in it and got to work.

What's Your Favorite Song to Play with Your Windows Down?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kia Rio for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Hey there.  You ever had that dull sensation cross over you when there is abosultely nothing on the car radio that'll get you to move?  It seems to happen more often than not.  Especially on the way home from a long day at work.  You ever had that awesome adrenaline rush over you when the absolute perfect song comes on the car radio that you just have to roll down the windows and sing your heart out?  Yeah, that doesn't happen enough... but when it does, man is it AWESOME!  This is why Kia and Spotify have teamed up to create the ultimate "Best Songs with your Windows Down" playlist.
