MUSIC

By Rosemary Clarke

     How can we recommend music when every note is so personal? 

     Music is our first cry and our last gasp, it's the beating of our hearts in love and in fear.  In times of great grief, a song can lift our souls like nothing else, and musicians are the magicians of the world speaking the world's languages without learning any other.

     Musicians capture all of nature and play it for us to understand; they connect us to our thoughts and wishes, with the earth and sky itself.
     If the beat is loud enough and near enough the deaf can feel it, the blind can 'see' the sounds, and no disability is excluded; we can all dream.

     Music is like air, we all breathe it but some special ones can turn it into something else by knowing its compound.  With musician's experiments no creatures are harmed; a cure that we can all share no matter who.

     We celebrate with music, we say goodbye with music and we mourn with music.  Music is all our lives and will be forever.  So, no matter what music you love we're all part of the same family with all musicians at the head to show us the way.
