. . . if you have something to say

Music has been a constant in my life since before I was born.  (My mother was a singer and still sings.)  maybe it's trite, but, to me, life without music would be like living in black and white.  Rhythm and sound are all around us:  heart beats, footsteps, language, laughter.  The sound of frosty leaves falling in the early morning.  The rumble of traffic and machinery.  Drum beats.  Doggie feet.  Bird wings fluttering.  A breath, a cry, a whine, a sigh.  It's all in there, all the colors of life.


So, I'm beginning this blog as a means to sharpening my observations of musical creativity.  A way to share my personal observations and create a diary of ideas to be shared, because creativity never happens in a vacuum.
