Don’t Stop the Music

Don’t Stop the Music

Don’t Stop The Music…

I’ve always liked music. The previous sentence is a complete understatement…I don’t like music…I LOVE MUSIC!

I won’t bore you with small talk about this as one photo should be proof enough:

Tammi CDs

Yes, that’s a walk-in closet in my home that houses most of my collection. My loving husband rebuilt an old cedar closet so my music would have a home…

With that said, there has always been one genre that escaped me…Jazz. I never felt like I could connect, relate or that it fit my life in some small way.

That is, until I found Jamie Cullum.

My introduction to this “Twentysomething” was hearing his version of “The Wind Cried Mary” by Jimi Hendrix in 2004. His interpretation of this classic song made me perk up and listen…and I liked what I heard. It had an upbeat, airiness that left me with a different feeling about the song. It challenged me and inspired me…it made me connect. It also made me an instant fan.

Jamie has a new CD, The Pursuit, coming out on 2/2/2010 and he has been actively promoting it on Twitter, Facebook and MySpace.

His post today mentioned a song that would be appearing on the new album and I knew I had heard it before…

Don’t Stop the Musicby Rihanna?

My mind couldn’t wrap around how this song (that my teenage nieces listen to) could be interpreted into jazz, but I had to head on over to his YouTube channel to see if my guess was correct. It was and it is amazingly well done!

Am I going to share it with you? You bet!

I hope that you enjoyed it and that I’ve made a fan out of at least one person who reads this.

If nothing else play it for your teenager(s) and spark their curiosity…who knows, they might learn to appreciate another genre of music, expand their minds and suddenly think you’re the coolest thing since sliced bread for knowing a Rihanna song!

What does this have to do with real estate? Not much, really, but I must admit his music makes an excellent soundtrack for an Open House!

Enjoy your day!
