Musica es bonita

Hola, mi familia,

Estoy a hablar espanol (well, I am trying to learn spanish and maybe even speak it)

Here is an amazing video from Sigur Ros (Jonsi is the lead singer of them. Dad, I gave you a CD of thier music for christmas one year.) The video features The Perlan Theatre Group, a dance/theatre troupe of mentally retarded/developmentally disabled people. The troupe is based in the Icelandic city of Reykjavik.

The video opens with the following quotes:
Without music, life would be a mistake - Nietzsche
Music was invented to confirm human loneliness - Lawrence Durrell
Music is the shorthand of emotion - Leo Tolstoy
Music expresses that which can not be said on which it is impossible to be silent. - Victor Hugo
Music is a moral law.It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaeity to life and to everything. - Plato
A painter paints pictures on canvas, but musicians paint their pictures on silence. - Leopold Stokowski
See deep enough and you see musically: the heart of nature everywhere being music. - Thomas Carlyle
Music can name the un-nameable, communicate the unknowable. - Leonard Bernstein
In the end, I think of music as the saving grace of all of humanity. - Henry Miller
Music is well said to be the speech of angels, in fact nothing allowed among the utterances to man is said to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite. - Thomas Carlyle

Absolutely Flying

Ahhh Spring - its unjust hope and promise. New life - in your face. Well this Spring I am of new lessons learned. I think the best part of these new lessons is how I have found new friends, and also now I have a way to find new music. I never realized how important finding new music could be!!!

Time Life Music Compilations

Almost every Sunday, I watched the MacLaughlin group and afterwards, time life music hits comes on (i do love paid programming).

previously i watched
Bowzer from Shan-na-na sell oldies but goodies
but this week's is Pop Hits from the 60's

So in tribute to Time Life, the Pop 60's hits and Paid Programming specials in general
Herb Albert does This Guy's in Love with You
Herb Albert does A Taste of Honey with the Tijuana Brass Band

Music IS Back and MORE

     I posted a music sidebar with great Aaron Copland - and I texted Allie and she seemed in good spirits - her first reply was "Do I know you?" Good responce from an unknown number. Love you guys!!
     I really really like playlist.com - I find an artist I like (Marie Digby) and add a song to my current playlist. Then I search other people's playlists - thinking they might have new artists in a similar music style - and I can listen to as long or short of any songs on their playlist and then if I like the song can in a couple of clicks add it to an existing or make a new playlist. I have found a ton of new artists this way!!!
