Finally focusing my thoughts!!!

Hey everyone! After a few attempts at trying to write a blog, I realized that I REALLY needed to get some focus to my blog. As much as I TRY and be interesting in what I write, I know that it is pretty scatterbrained and random. And I have figured out something to do! Here's a little back story... For as long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed the music of Broadway... Now, I KNOW what your first thought is... "gay"... Um... NO! Musical Theatre is NOT just for "gay" people. Straight people (like me) can enjoy showtunes too... I understand that not everybody enjoys it, and that is fine. If you are one of the people who doesn't like musicals, this blog might not be for you. A couple days ago, I had to drive down to my dad's house for a funeral. I knew it was going to be a long car ride, so I put a couple shows on my phone to listen to on the trip. On my way home I put on a show that I hadn't listened to, but kinda wanted to check out (the show was "Aspects of Love"... more on that show later)... While listening to it, a crazy thought just sort of hit me... As much as I THOUGHT I knew about musical theatre, there are a LOT of shows that I just don't know about. It isn't for the lack of access to them (I have over 200 Broadway soundtracks on my computer), it was just the simple fact that I never took the time to listen to them. So I decided to change that. Starting tomorrow (I think), I am going to listen to a different Broadway show every day (sort of in alphabetical order). Some of them will be new (to me), some will be so familiar that I will sing every word of the show along with the recording... No matter what though, I will have to give an honest opinion of what I think of the show. Some of the reviews might be glowing, some might criticize the performers, but I have to be honest. Now, there are some shows that I just simply don't have yet... That COULD change over the course of the next several months, and if I need to, I can just patch the reviews in where needed. Maybe after I get comfortable with the schedule, I might try and experiment with other types of reviews. Maybe a podcast, or a vlog (video blog). All in all, I am looking forward to this new adventure. Wish me luck, and if you have any special requests, I would be HAPPY to do my best to make it work. So starting tomorrow... 13 - The Musical
