I love music, or perhaps I should say lyrics - lyrics speak to me long before the music - I enjoy hearing what people have to say - and people have a tendency to speak more passionately and honestly in verse. I admire musicians and artist who seek their dreams and hold true to them; despite all the long days and nights. So I ask all of you to seek out local artists and support them; find a small venue and you're sure to see/hear some surprising talent...
Kisses kept are wasted; Love is to be tasted.
There are some you love, I know; Be not loath to tell them so.
Lips go dry and eyes grow wet Waiting to be warmly met,
Keep them not in waiting yet; Kisses kept are wasted.
~Edmund Vance Cooke
..
The key to the mystery of a great artist is
that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies
and his life just to make sure that one note follows another...
and leaves us with the feeling that something
is right in the world.
~Leonard Bernstein
..
As in all things truly worthwhile in life...love is an art,
sketched and painted atop a canvas of mutual respect.
~unknown..
If wrinkles must be written upon our brow,
let them not be written upon the heart;
the spirit should not grow old.
~James A. Garfield..
Once conform, once do what others do
because they do it, and a kind of lethargy
steals over all the finer senses of the soul.
~Michel de Montaigne..
