A few hours back, I was driving through heavy rains through palm lined roads of my beautiful Goa, call it coincidence, but the title of this blog is not a sleazy invitation; but the sequence of songs that I just heard on radio!
Friends I'm probably the lucky few amongst we classmates who gets to enjoy the new and old of both western and Indian music, (nowadays also World music), on radio everyday! You'll knew my passion for music and so has God! He blessed me with a home in Goa, where I can meet artists and attend concerts of some great musicians.
Those days,few of you even laughed at my dreams to become a Rockstar! Trust me, I am a Rockstar now. That's when I choose my favourite Skull candy headsets, songlists, turn on the ipod and close my eyes! I'm also on world tour when there are public holidays and an occasional Bharat bandh, as it was today! My children attend classes for guitar and Indian classical music. And I have a dvd of "Rock On" too! The only similarity with the movie and my life is when the lead actress mentions that she knows little of Rock music! My wife too knows very little!!!
Back to reality, just as "Pour some sugar on me" got over, Madonna started crooning, Material Girl! And I remembered Live Aid telecast on our black and white tv sets then. My parents were fast asleep, and here I was flying between US and UK, watching Bob Geldof's most memorable get-together of our favourite stars for charity.
I spoke about the concert the next day and everyone questioned, "what was that?"
Today, times have changed and many of you still request me if I have that collection of songs.......Yes, I do have. Thousands of songs, on not just one, but on over 3 Ipods!.....and not just the old but also the new. And there's good news too, along with Rock, Pop, Jazz, Blues,Electronica and the latest club music from Ibiza; I also have some good Hindi and Marathi songs!
But I have a problem, I need to put them together as songlists according to their genres. I also need to add some of your favourite songs in my collection!
Lets come together online, share some good music and also create an album of our favourites!
