if you found that music spiritual then you must listen to some of kitaro's and andreas vollenweider's stuff. they are both amazing artists and their music is absolutely enchanting and mystical.

hey group,

after experiencing davids' latest blog entry, "don't give up; musical healings for vt," i realized the profound message in this is simply that the "power of music" to up-lift, to inspire, to motivate, or if you flip the coin, to instill anger, to en-rage, to pacify- all these things are coming at us all day long everywhere you turn-on the radio, on the tv, in the commercials, from the ceiling as you walk through k-mart, and the "message in the music" has proven in these turbulent times to have a profound effect.

i can recall another soundbite-massacre that occured back in 1971, or was it 1972, in may of what ever year that was, on the campus of kent state university, where at that time "they" were still utilizing more conventional methods, and the ohio national guard was used to gun down four students.
perhaps the most inspiring song to come out of that was the crosby, stills, nash and young song "four dead in o-hi-o. i know that even now, after all these years, (you wern't born yet david, but we have suffered through all this before), listening to this song, even in my head, which, which is my prefered storage medium, it stirs my soul, and runs me through the gammet of emotions, including "rituous anger." it's time for some more songs.

one of our fellow travelers, who was with us on the good ship zuiderdam, and also on the egyptian experience, janet, as she has become known within this forum community, sent me a gift this morning; a you-tube link of a song that i'm sure y"all will recognize: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqffrcureby , for your enjoyment, and i offer this as a study in the power of music, about an exceptional musical prophet, john lennon.

and don't forget that classic rock song, "god gave rock & roll to us" by i forget who...

attention all wanderers, good stuff.

talk about the "tree of life", notice the pyramidal shape at the top of their headdresses, along with what i would call some pretty sacred geometry demonstrated.

hey bob . that u tube was sent to me my my fellow lead guitarest.
i took me a few years of self healing to realize that my gift of music
is not a gift unless it is given. what honor it is to still be playing rock and roll
with a band that i played with over 30 years ago. i am glad that you enjoyed what i sent you. the funny thing is that these musicians are learning that they really are succesfull. because they can play. they can still raise people up! they are blessed that they did not become"gods of music" lol
namaste' janet

[CULTDIAMONDS]

hey janet, and group-

yes, indeedy! isn't it fun to use our god-given gifts, especially when you factor in the "sharing with others" part of it? oh my, another ra-ism- swo! i began playing the bass guitar a-way back in jr. hs, and by my first year of college, had become imbedded in a huge band like yours- an 8 piece mega-production, called "taurus." at that time, we had the drummer, #1 trombone, #2 and #1 trumpet players in the baldwin wallace college's jazz-band, plus a marvel on keyboards, with the "flying leslies and all, who also played sax, a lifetime-committed guitar player, a lead singer who was just as at home doing opera, and me, who couldn't read a lick of music off a sheet, and still can't today, but oh my god, could we do the "chicago," "bs&t," "lighthouse;" anything with brass in it! and if it didn't, we put it there! the only recording that i ever had of us, which we did in a studio, i transfered to an 8-track tape- hey, that was hi-tech back then, but it got ripped-off from my car along with the player while we were doing a gig somewhere in the cleveland area. big bummer- or i could make a copy for you and send it along for you to figure out what to do wit it!

you've really got the j-airplane sound down, and the southern rock stuff is as good, or better than the originals, keep workin' on the "janis j." it'll come.

remember me telling you a few days ago about my dream about getting called to show-up at a gig in baton rouge, and worrying about how i was ever going to be there and still drive the train? wierd, huh?

i would normally say hey, rob, too, but i guess it's now like by, rob- dude, ya really blew it! rock-on, baby doll!

[FreeOEMcheapestPHOTOSHOP]

hey rock on back,
today i did a benefit concert for seeing eye dogs with a mother/son duo (both blind) they are great musicians.
afterwards we went out to eat .the husband is almost blind too.
they are so positive and nice to be around. always laughing etc...
it was an experience to be driving around three blind people.
the funny thing ws that when i made a mistake on directions one of them would correct me as they have a gps!!!
talkin about the blind leading the blind

bob,
i could guess that you are a musician. we just kinda stay in a state of meditation.
your dream is funny. maybe it is your yearning for the music world?
i know that i am the happiest while doing a song.
when i have stopped jammin i dream wierd things about my music life
and the people involved.
we will sometime have to jam.

don't think that i will be able to do this next trip. will catch up with yall sometime later though.

[TeveVikep]

i love music but apart from playing recorder and violin in elementary school and a few attempts at spoons at parties i have never been all that musically inclined.

yesterday while listening to music i was just in awe of what some of these artists can produce and was thinking about what it must be like to be an amazing musician, or artist. i think many of them have a direct link to the creator so to speak.

anyways, i came home and last night read this (from a book on david's reading list) speaking about the "future".



so i may get the chance to experience what it's like to be a great composer. sounds like it could be fun.

great post, megan!

and, absolutely, rock & roll is not the only medium through which the message is being delivered.

here is a look at what used to work for our parents/grandparents...

[Adwetyren]

this is fun- kinda like what we did back in grade school, but then the only medium available was 45 rpm records- ya know, the little ones, with the big hole? today, most of my collection's gotten converted over to mp3 format, and i don't see that as a supported ext. for sharing, like pictures, but i did find these:

kate wolf- medicine wheel

thanks for that one, bob! it's my favorite glenn miller tune.
my parents grew of age during the big band era, so i grew up hearing this stuff all the time. even though i am a child of the sixties (born in '54), i can still appreciate the music of my parents and (most of) the music of my children.

i had to pass along the link for this to my mom. i know she'll love it, too.

when i have the time, i'll look for some of the ones i really enjoyed in my era. (in the process of moving - just bought a house - with a yard where i can enjoy the earth again!)

we're getting mellow; try this on for size..patsy would be proud, what do you think, bob?

[escolubtessen]

ok, did a quick search for a couple of oldies but goodies:

joni mitchell - i've had this song on my mind with all the construction going on at my soon to be old location. watched them tear down a couple of acres of trees and grade the land for new apartments.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htqubwecuv8

and this one just describes how i've been feeling the last couple of years with my life changes: (also a joni mitchell song, but i'm more familiar with the judy collins version)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oluga_oi9yq

why are all the videos for this song so cheesy!? the one live version wouldn't play for me!

[dahlilaninfo]

all the old folksy songs like 'turn, turn, turn (to everything there is a season)' by the byrds, simon & garfunkel 'bridge over troubled water' etc give me goosebumps...my current favourite is anael's angelic singing to bradfield's wonderful melodies - they really speak to my soul...
