Strange realization today. After seeing Johnny Rivers perform last weekend, I gave his best-selling 1968 Gold album, “Realization”, a good listen. It was hauntingly familiar. The album featured several chart hits such as "Summer Rain" (No. 2) and an amazing version of "Whiter Shade Of Pale" and one of the best covers of Bob Dylan’s, “Positively 4th Street” I’ve ever heard.
Of course, I remember. I can vividly recall my dad having this album in his record collection and playing it often during the evening hours when I was, I’m guessing, between 11 or 12 years old. It was the gift of music that my dad always brought into my life.
So what does all this have to do with a scuba diving / underwater photography focused site? Well, simply this. The connection between music and creativity is undeniable. Artists have long understood that music influences creativity. So why not consciously influence your own creativity by listening to some great music while you’re plotting your next adventure or artistic endeavor? It works!
Thanks, Dad, for sowing the seeds of love throughout my lifetime. You live on forever in our hearts...
