    Wow, that is good. Hits the spot.

    Clearly I am getting lazy and have become acclimated to facebook. I just wanted to hit the “like” button….

    —>>>I just couldn’t let this go by without commenting. A great big me too! Thanks I hadn’t even heard of this piece. I love the vocal accents instead of using say odd intruments to do what the voice was used to do. The lyrics were very fine, great combinations.

    Music is a language that almost everyone can share without too sharp a learning curve. Everyone experiences any given piece of music their own way, an individual sensory Smorgasbord. Yet there’s also the universal facets of that same piece of music where we can connect with others in a way, in a place where words can’t go all alone.

    I’m in no way trying to demean the power of words just saying that a cello for instance can take you instantly somewhere where it might take a page or two of a book etal to get you there. I have read passages in books that have physically kicked my senses, thrust emotion etc. on me they were so well selected, so well grouped together.

    So I hope I don’t lose either my hearing or my sight before I’m finished with them.

    You had to know that I’m not a one sentence type of gal eh?

    Sly, I agree with everything you say. Music works like that for me too!

    I love BiblioBuffet, thanks for the link!

    About the link, oh and you’re welcome I more than half knew that about you and music. I love Lev he is such a clear thinker and writer. He and I are so often on the same wave length on Dorothy L. Because I was so busy yesterday when I posted on your blog I didn’t realize I didn’t send his talk about his newest book My Germany. I wanted to include this but I forgot to. (I don’t know how to make an icon of someone with a huh wtf look so that’s the look on my face for forgetting that) http://www.levraphael.com/

    Lev is an author who is a gay man and his protagonist is a gay man who is a professor whose name is escaping me at this moment. You may know of Lev as he is one of the writers for the Huffington Post. This is him talking about why he writes these particul;ar books. I was quite moved by how he made such an atrocity something i could understand from his and his family’s point of view. It was horrific for me to hear him say how so many were killed that may have been his own relatives.
