the Stairrrrrrrwaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy to Heeeeeeeeeavennnnn!  That’s right ladies and gentlemen, my favorite song is Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.

I’m not sure what it is about this song that I seem to love so much but it is my “go to” on favorite songs.  Maybe I like the way the song starts off slow and then jams out.  There are several other songs that follow this style that I also like.  It’s funny too, that I can’t remember the first time I ever heard the song.  I’m sure it was in the car with my dad one day.  But unlike some other songs that instantly evoke memories Stairway isn’t one of those.  I just love this song.  And I would like for it to be played at my funeral.  In general I really like Zeppelin and I may have managed to incorporate some Zeppelin in my wedding.

I went through a huge classic rock phase in high school.  I had all the great albums, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steve Miller band, Jethro Tull.   I’m sure my dad was more then ecstatic while my mom hated every minute of it.  I remember one night in particular driving out in the country with my friend Jessica.  We were in my mom’s jeep, we had the windows down, classic rock blaring and Boone’s farm under the seats.  Yup, can you say classy?  🙂

I can’t say that a “rock out” to the classics anymore but I do remember the days when my ears were filled with the greats.  Now I tend to jam out to all the newest pop that comes on the radio.  Not so much because the music matters but it is fun.
