Music...

What music most inspires you and why? I love music. The most moving is that tribal type of music created by friends gathered around a bonfire, one starts with drums, the others join, in voice or with other instruments. There is no plan to the music, it is straight from the heart. The most inspiring music is the music of nature, rain fall, thunder rolling, water cascading down a hillside. The birds which wake you at dawn break when you are camping and sing you back into lullaby land as dusk settles into the darkness of night. The sounds you hear throughout the night and wonder at their origin. The music of children's laughter and the pain you hear in their tears. This is the most beautiful music. Do you play an instrument?At the moment I don't. This is one of the things I miss most of my childhood. I learned the recorder in second grade, as (I think) does every Australian child at that age. I however, loved it so much that I learned to play every type of recorder from the piccola to the base. I played in an orchestra and in a big band. I played for myself, I played for my creator, I played for others. I loved to play. I learned to play classical guitar, piano and keyboard, I began to learn percussion. Then my childhood was taken from me. I will open these doors again, soon I don't doubt. I want to take singing lessons. I am a terrible singer, but I love singing and have been told anyone can do it... we'll see!
