Mars / Venus CD Samplers

Paul has some very kind words on his blog today for the Samplers, and it made me think about how music is different to each of us, but in so many ways is one of the few universal constants.

For me it is a way to make memories, pull people together, provide support when we need strength, and to permit us to fall apart when we need to fall apart.  But above all for me music is nothing if not shared, which is why I think I put the Hotel Abandon Samplers together in the first place.

I still think it's telling that neither Deb nor I ever told Julia to "Stop Talking!" as a baby, toddler, tween, etc.

It was always, "Julia, please stop singing!"

The poor child never had a chance!
