I should've called in sick. I lost my voice last night and I still haven't recovered yet. To be honest, my sickness got worse because I not only can't talk in my normal voice, but I am coughing really bad it's giving me pain in my chest. There is no one else to blame but myself because I had gone out last night for a friend's birthday party... and there, I lost my voice.
I logged on to my google account, hoping to jot down a paragraph and calling it a night, until I realized that today's post is a rather special one. It's my 200th post! I'm so thankful that I came this far, and that there is less than half way to go until I accomplish my mission. To celebrate this remarkable day, I am sharing one of my all time favourite songs - Cantaloop by US3. The original tune is called Cantaloupe Island by Herbie Hancock, which I also like. The other day, I was talking to a friend of mine about music and how much music influences our lives. That made me think about the music I enjoy listening to. I realized that most of the songs I like are heavily shaped by the songs I listened to since the end of high school and the beginning of university. There are additions to my playlist, but I see myself going back to the songs that I listened to then. As for Cantaloop, I didn't know that there was an original tune to the song until I heard the Herbie Hancock's Cantaloupe Island on the radio. I think that's when I learned that most of the jazz songs are covers of the original artists. Oh, by the way, US3 sampled the song for their Cantaloop. Well, yeah. I hope you enjoy it! It's a fun song, and perhaps you can get a glimpse of what I was like when I was in my first year of university.
