My thoughts and observations of what is and what should be

Today's prompt from WordPress bloggers caught my eye...You’re asked to recite a poem (or song lyrics) from memory — what’s the first one that comes to mind?

Above the noise This is about the season and the Continue Reading...

Music can also be a place to lose ones self while the mind wanders or even ponders anything Continue Reading...
I am thankful for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. In a couple of hours I will be going to see them for the 13th consecutive year. This is more than just a concert to me. Below I have included the links to the previous pieces I have written regarding TSO. I have another one or two pieces coming soon. For today, I am thankful for the band, their talents, the message they share, and the attention to Continue Reading...
