I don't know if music can change
the world overnight, but I know
that music can help someone
make it through a difficult night.
~Michael Franti
What is it about music?
I swear, sometimes I'm listening
and my soul just wells up without
control, sobs simply erupt from
the bottom of my heart!
Obviously, we all like different
types of music. Perhaps, it's what
makes the world go 'round. I love
Esoteric music, weird instruments
along the lines of Enya. Like some
Western singers; Willy Nelson is
my absolute fave. I enjoy a tad of
jazz, love me some rock 'n roll,
but not hard rock.
I'm ever so grateful to my parents
for taking the family to the local
community concerts regularly.
It was a wondrous introduction
to Montovani and other amazing
artists. I can actually recall my
young heart swelling with joy
when experiencing operetta for
the first time.
This afternoon, we sat by the
fire, listening to Ella Fitzgerald
and Nat King Cole. We toasted
the two legends and gave thanks
for the absolute delight to be
found in their music.
the joy of music
gileads balm to my soul
gift of the ages
