your comment might seem odd at first but actually, you're spot on. how many times in your life, when reeling from the effects of a personal or more general disaster, have you found yourself staring out the window, trying to get to the bottom of the thing while strumming your guitar, lute, uke ... whatever. i don't want to get into some endless, "new age" discussion on the metaphysics of sound but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
i read that the force of the earthquake which caused the tsunami made the earth "wobble" a bit in its orbit. if you consider just how easy it could be to "wobble" out of orbit and spin off into freezing space, you have to conclude that we're all in this together. music of the spheres indeed. - bill --- "G.R.
