I Just Love Playing It
Jumping into bed with the Hitmaker
They say, "Music is good for what ails you" which is another way of saying that music has the power to heal. It's always been my savior and I've been feeling very bad lately.
I saw two doctors and have been medicated and had some good bed rest, but surprisingly when I practiced guitar today instead of sleeping I felt a lot better. This could all be coincidence and timing or it could be everything good working together.
Tonight, I'm jumping into bed with my guitar which I call The Hitmaker, and I'm going to play myself to sleep. I know I'm going to feel better because it's always worked in the past. Besides, I Just Love Playing It.

You will hear a Nile Rodgers song today. It will make you happy.
Today's pop music—genre-crossing, gender-bending, racially mixed, visually stylish, and dominated by dance music with global appeal—is the world that Nile Rodgers created. In the 1970s and 1980s, he wrote and produced the songs that defined that era and everything that came after: "Le Freak," "Good Times," "We Are Family," "Like a Virgin," "Modern Love," "I'm Coming Out," "The Reflex," "Rapper's Delight." Aside from his own band, Chic, he worked with everyone from Diana Ross and Madonna to David Bowie and Duran Duran (not to mention Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, Prince, Rod Stewart, Robert Plant, Depeche Mode, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Grace Jones, Bryan Ferry, INXS, and the B-52's), transforming their music, selling millions of records, and redefining what a pop song could be.
