that's my jam!!!!!

On the train today the “air guitar” guy was rockin’ out again as usual. Our eyes caught each other a few times and I just had to smile. It’s really funny to see someone who is really into their music but I know exactly how he feels. There are just those songs that just hit you in a way that you can’t control your actions. I’ve been a huge music fan for as long as I can remember. Watching the “air guitar” guy this morning reminded me of something I do. I am known by just about everyone I know for saying “that’s my jam!” They have all told me more than once that I can’t have that many jams, to which I’ve replied "oh but yes you can." So what constitutes a “jam” you ask? Well, if it gets me singing, snapping my fingers, and grooving to the beat, then that’s a “jam!”

Here are a few of my “jams”, you’ll see what I mean. If you don’t have these on your Ipod or in your Itunes, I suggest you get them pronto, you can thank me later.

• Cheryl Lynn – To be real – hands down probably my all time favorite song
• Janet Jackson – Pleasure Principle – nuff said
• Michael Jackson – P.Y.T. - although the Off the Wall album is his best ever, this song off of the Thriller album can’t be beat for me
