I can't imagine a world w/o music and your lyric
further reinforces our feelings that we are connected
by music.

As we listened we thought of the Glen Cambell
film "I'll be me" that we recently watched. Alzheimer's
robbed him of everything but music. There's
something universal about music that's bigger than
we are...and your song says this.

This was a wonderful write and production and
we very much enjoyed it. Here's hoping the imagery
of the above verse will be realized some day.

Kudos!!!

Hi Janice and Bud,

Always good to see you both. Apologies for my late reply, the real world had stuff for me to do for a bit.

I totally agree with you about music. There is something that's universal about it and it seems to provide some kind of brain food that nothing else does. There's no other explanation as to why its popularity spans generations and cultures. I've read a couple of books on speed learning and Baroque adagio movements have been shown to be memory enhancers - especially when learning a language.

In the 70s, I once played keyboards as part of a small group who gave a concert for folk at a home for the elderly with dementia and alzheimers. As soon we began to play some songs from the first and second world wars, 90% of the residents started singing and some even had tears in their eyes. There were memories still there and somehow music was the key to unlocking them.

There's much still learn about the effect of music on the human psyche.

Hmmm.... I'd better jump down from the soapbox smile Thanks again for dropping in and having a listen. I appreciate it.

All the best,
Noel
