Music is not some abstract mental thing for you. Music comes through you. You have to respond physically to that.<BR/><BR/>I know the feeling too, though. It's not just music that works that way for me. So does poetry or paintings. But I also know the physical response to music. Last week we were at the symphony for its Gospel Cristmas performance. Several pieces affected me physically. But when they did Oh Happy Day, It was all I could do to not cry. S looked over at me and asked if I was all right. <BR/><BR/>And it wasn't the song itself or the words or the sentiment. [You know me better than that.] It was the performance, and the purity of the art.The Grandpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08548802274156524456noreply@blogger.com
