Growing up at number 7904 I can share so many stories with you about what it was like growing up in a house with 6 girls and my mum being the seventh a great time we sure had. Watching lots of TV but always made sure we watched musicals with the likes of The Sound of Music, Sister Act, Sarafina, Music and lyrics and Annie, we always loved to sing along and watching these movies brought us closer together.
Today I'm going to share with you about the Sound of Music and truly hope you will enjoy it .
Growing up with my sisters was an amazing journey and I am who I am today because of The Soundof Music I grew up to .
UB40 being my # 1, OMG to think that I ha crush on Ali the lead singer and when it came to karaoke nights I sang along to Ali and iIfelt so close to him .*hahahahaha funny how times change*
Labour Of Love was the first album my Father bought me.My Mother is always telling me the story of how that came to be, she says that I sang the whole album back to back one day when we were driving my sister Sammy to school her school being more that 100km from where we lived, the amazing thing is I was only 5 years old.(wonder why I didn't become a singer)
Music is what brings us together as a family because of our different tastes and appreciation of music. My sister Sandy is the most mature one amongst us with a greater and deeper understanding of Music, My sister Sally however loves the beat of the African beat because my sister is a huge Rhumba Fan and whenever she visits Zimbabwe,Chez Ntemba is the place for her, Sammy is very diverse in her music style, I don't want to blow my own horn but music is my life, I live, eat, breath music and like my sister Sandra I'm very Mature in terms of music.
They say that with age comes maturity and for my little sisters Tino and Lola they are still finding themselves in music.
Before I go just want to share one more story with share, I truly believe that the love of music is generational because my niece who is now 13 years old is a true example, when she was only two years old and still learning to talk she could sing along to
Backstreet Boys Song "I want it that way" even though she sang it in her baby voice one could clearly see the passion in the little girl. With one more addition to the family being my nephew Junior he is just amazing a beautiful boy full of life still can't talk but whenever we put some music on, no matter he is doing be it eating ,sitting or playing he leaves what it is and he starts dancing more rather bouncing about so maybe he is the dancer in the family.
After all that said is done The Sound of Music will always be a part of me and will always keep my family glued together and I plan to share that with my family one day .
