I've never had a love affair with music and I am jealous of people who are so inspired by it.

What a lovely gift you were given, and your inspiration to start what might end up a "mashup' of words and music. My son-in-law, a film editor is known for his great choices of music in his work, grew up singing with family, etc. My point is that he is singing with his daughters who already know so many. I loved hearing about your father singing and playing the harmonica to you. Those experiences stay. Thanks for sharing what you've been doing!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-53936466330930686712016-01-20T01:27:54.785+11:002016-01-20T01:27:54.785+11:00I second Kimberley's noticing.

I break out into song regularly and while my students and my own children laugh and mock me, I know they get it. There is music there beneath our words and our thoughts, just waiting to escape through the cracks. Great piece today.Kimberley Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944774091932084680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-91178146063344661712016-01-19T21:28:11.649+11:002016-01-19T21:28:11.649+11:00Love, love this post!

Your love for music and writing shine through and the photos you chose to include are a delightful accompaniment to your text. The excerpt about your father and his music was especially touching. Thank you so much for sharing. What a great way to start my day!Molly Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975100905434379155noreply@blogger.com
