As long as there are two rocks to bang together ... What did William Wallace say (aka Mel Gibson in Braveheart)? "They can take away this, they can take away that ...".

That's exactly how I feel about music. It soothes, excites, stimulates ... anything you want, anytime you want it, for the rest of your life, regardless of your socio-economic status, physical/mental health, age, etc.

Am I overstating things? Oh well.

Give me your Django, your Yo-Yo, your Skynyrd, your Ella, your Yardbirds, your Brubeck, your Steely, your US3 and MC 900-Foot Jesus, your Rodeo .. hell, lay some Sabbath on me with a Travis Tritt chaser ... and I'm all yours.

Yes, there are other things to life than music. The fun is deciding which song you'd like to play while you're doing them.
