The Power of Music

[elgrau 89]

Lost my 92 year old mom today. No shock; we all been expecting it at anytime for the past couple of weeks.. She in Ohio with my siblings; I in California with my very dependents. Funeral in two weeks which I and children will of course attend. However, in the meantime (today) we got together (youngest daughter and SO) and had a nice "blow out" that consisted of a nice barbecue, lot's of beer and MUSIC. I'm sure my very artistic mom would approve; I'm so sure (she a great pianist and painter and poet)..

 

But to the topic: the great music was a key component to this "blow out" and its fidelity and "fullness" and power was some how very key as a "back drop" to the "ceremony" and I just don't think "average" music would have been at all the same. Just another reason why high fidelity is different and important.....

Sorry for your loss elgrau; I'm to attend my grandmother's 90th late this August, and we're hoping she makes it.

I am glad you have found a way to  use it in a way that heals.......rock on bro.......

Italians also have that "celebrate the living" approach. Makes it difficult to tell a funeral from a wedding.

 

My condolences to you and your family elgrau.

Sorry to hear of your loss elgrau! She certainly sounds like a woman whom enjoyed the finer things in life and probably enriched all those she touched.
