Music has always had a place in my life. My entire youth was spent performing as a singer. Although I'm no longer a performing artist, music still lifts me up when I'm down, and it speaks to almost every event in my life – good or bad. I can think of or locate a song that represents my state of mind for anything that has occurred in my life. Being able to pinpoint that perfect situational song is essential because, I'm allowed to find one song that will arouse my competitive, fighting spirit and transition me from my normal laidback state of mind to a warrior state of mind. While my laidback, sedentary lifestyle is great for everyday purposes, it has the ability to put me in wrong state of mind for competition. If ever there is a time when I need to be transitioned, then it's when I have to step on a tennis court. To prepare and transition, I use really upbeat music. The louder & funkier it is, the better it is – hence my Friday Funky Jam.
The Friday Funky Jam is a song I've picked for my weekend tennis escapades when I should be high energy and ready to "bang" with the best on the recreational courts. This song may vary in genre and age. Undoubtedly, it will almost always have vocals – I am a former singer. Last, but not least, it will be a song that I've heard during the week that is "hot" (at least, hot for me) and representative of what my mindset should and will be by match time.
This week’s selection….
Tye Tribbett – “Victory”
Note: If you computer is as slow as mine, it’s best to let this song load completely before listening.
To all my weekend bangers, aim for your “sweet spot” and keeping banging!

I had no idea you were a singer. How come you are not jammin with the praise and worship team.....holdin out I see...I love Victory!
Thanks, Joan. Yeah, I sang for about 18 years in choirs, musical productions, etc. I haven't tried to re-incorporate it into my life, but I may consider. Victory is one of my faves also. Thanks for reading.
