I Will Play a Rhapsody - Burton Cummings

Thus begins my Rhapsody project. Every other day, or every week (I haven't made up my mind which), I will put my iTunes on shuffle. I will write about the first song that comes up, and what it means to me.

Today is the song my blog is named after - "I Will Play a Rhapsody" by Burton Cummings, formerly the lead singer of The Guess Who. Lyrics

The first time I heard this song was on my way to a flute lesson. My mom was driving, and we put the CD in. I remember she said that this was one of her favourite songs by Burton Cummings. I particularly remember her mentioning how he harmonized with himself near the song's end, and when I listened for it, found it very pleasing to the ear.

So this song always reminds me of the car ride to my flute teacher's, and the time spent with my mom listening to music we both enjoyed. Burton Cummings has since been one of my favourites.
