We have all been involuntary listeners at some stage or another of our lives.
we still are, when shopping in supermarkets, traveling in lifts or any form of transport that has music controlled by someone else (Eg. Martin )
Hotel foyers, other peoples homes, nightclubs, restaurants etc.
One that is most interesting is babies or young children, whatever music we play in their presence,
they have to listen to it, They have no choice.
it will become part of their lives whether they like it or not, many of the members here will have children or grandchildren whom we
currently influence in this way, Take playing lots of Hayley for example.
These babies or children will become familiar with many of Hayley's songs.
they will subconsciously know the tunes and the lyrics, they may even like them.
As they grow in years they will then be influenced by their friends and peers,
they may even deliberately stop listening to Hayley because it was not the music of their own choice.
They may even forget about it for a while.
Later in life they will hear one of Hayley's songs and hopefully it will bring back pleasant memories, as music does over the years.
So in theory, Today we are raising children who will come back to Hayley's music in thirty or forty years time.
For me it was singers like Edith Piaf and Ruby Murray,
I must have heard them on the radio as a small child, but then they dropped out of the charts or became unpopular,
I was not aware as a teenager that I was familiar with their music.
In my late teens and early twenties I was back and forth to France regularly.
When I heard Piaf being played in bars it really spooked me, the songs and tunes were so familiar,
yet I didn't know I had probably heard them all before on radio as a baby or young child.
The same thing happened just recently, I watched a documentary about Ruby Murray, I was vaguely "unaware of her"
I had none of her records or Cds, I couldn't have named one song she had sung before the programme started.
But when I heard her sing, I got goosebumps all over, It was all so familiar it was spooky, pleasant and slightly weird.
I assume it was four decades since I last heard those songs, But they were still in my memory, re awakened by hearing them again.
Within a week I had bought every Ruby Murray album that was available in HMV. What a pleasant trip down memory lane, just without images.
I assume the same will happen with the children we are in contact with,
That the music we play in their presence will come back to them later in life.
(It is such a responsibility, shaping lives and memories of the future)
