Who is ready for the Grammy’s tonight, I know I am. If you know you know I love music, because music is life it reminds you of events, trips and so much more. I always quote music lyrics on almost everything I do, my hard drive (brain) is storing new music on a daily basis. If you follow me on any my social media, especially on snapchat and Instagram (@rossanavanoni) you will see all my music related snaps, post and sing alongs (pardon my voice).
