I have always been a music lover. I can remember singing every commercial jingle that came on the TV when I was kid, just because it was musical. I remember the pre-K teacher who brought her guitar to class and taught us folk songs like "You get a line, I'll get a pole." (Yes, it was the 70's back then.)
