Karma's Personal Top Ten


Recommended Posts

In common jargon we say what goes around comes around. The Bible says "Whatever you sow, that shall you reap." Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. To many in the world, all these axioms are summed up in a single word, karma. Well, we have been blessed by our own version here at Songfacts. Her spirit of grace, warmth and kindness is the embodiment of Songfactor noblese that we all hope to exude toward one another. Now, it's time to do our best to help her reap

you guys are so generous with your kind remarks. I love music of all kinds other than rap and opera which I am not to fond of. I tried to grow up with my kids but they left me behind and so I am still a kid ;) . I had to either listen to the old classics or get rid of the kids therefore the choice was easy. I still listen to that genre more than any other but some of the new music is great too. I am so glad that my songfactor friends seem to be enjoying my list. Make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I feel extremely flattered that all "you kids" seem to like the music that I like. I also think that it is awesome that you think I rock, that I rock your world, sideways and from the looks of it, almost any old way. :thumbsup: It makes me feel good that you take the time to listen to ones that you don't know. I am very priveleged to have music friends like all of you. Thanks so much and I am glad that you enjoyed. :bow: :bow:
