Our music

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
--Berthold Auerbach


We may have spiritual experiences in our daily lives that we don't think of as spiritual. For many of us, music lifts us from the practical and mundane circumstances of our lives into communion with the universe. One man may like to listen to country music on the radio, another one might play the piano, and another may go to rock concerts. For each of us, music is a different world from the reasonable, hard data, task-oriented world we usually live in. Music touches our feelings and speaks to us in a special language. It brings us back to special times in the past, perhaps recalls a night of fun and excitement or a person we shared a song with. Music lifts our spirits and opens us to deeper feelings we weren't in touch with. Many of us meet our Higher Power through the music we love.

Today, I will make room for the restorative powers of music in my life.

Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art. ~Charlie Parker

I would advise you to keep your overhead down; avoid a major drug habit; play everyday, and take it in front of other people. They need to hear it, and you need them to hear it. ~ James Taylor.


Two of my favorite musicians about their craft.
Music is as vital to me as oxygen. It's one of the things I'm grateful for every time I make a gratitude list.
I see and hear my life in a Charlie Parker solo, or a Taylor chord progression.
Thank god I had music all those years I spent loaded.

Music is like oxygen.I always said its "Food for the soul" One of my all time favorites is Bob Segar.Great melodies,and exellent lyrics.
