As a child I loved the soothing voices of many singers as long as they didn&#8217;t scream or sound gruff. I couldn&#8217;t handle much anxiety and\u00a0longed to hear kind masculine voices to replace the sound of my father&#8217;s voice in my head. I would drown out my father&#8217;s voice with Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond, and other music my father hated. I loved when my father left for work and my mother played her records all day long; Engelbert Humperdink, Tom Jones, Elvis Presley, Bobby Sherman, Neil Diamond, Johnny Mathis and many others. I also loved my own records, Donny Osmond, David Cassidy and The Jackson Five, which I kept hidden under my mattress. My father would sometimes destroy my records. I learned to lose myself in most music, especially\u00a0if meaningful words were sung. I believe I memorized every song I liked and then played them in my mind, a welcomed distraction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for your question.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Karen<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Eddie on 08 Jan 2010 at 2:15 pm What was the music and singer that you listened to when you was little?
