Musical Memories
Early into my undergraduate years, I took to listening "Burma Road" when I had to write out homework assignments, specifically for my English courses. The first class in the three-part series inspired my imagination to blend creativity and academia. My personal take on the song was Native American in tone and musical imagery. To date, memories of then remain now. I still imagine peaceful land reservations with trumpet accent.
College is structured, demanding, and intriguing in experience. Life after is a guess that will either succeed or fail. Although I failed in living up to my Bachelor's and graduate degrees, I feel a sense of success in other ways - such as Set List and now designing journals for sale on Amazon.
I suppose all that is left to say now is play it, Greg Adams! "Burma Road" is a forever signature in my iTunes library.
