Merle, Please take care of yourself, and take those meds to completion, so as not to foster mutated Super-Bacteria. But you know the drill.
Music for me is something that comes from the fingers. If I played other instruments -- like wind instruments -- it might be different, but fingers are needed on Sax, Trumpet, Oboe, Flute, and Horn, too. I became a string player. Kalimba is like string, but more like "spring": the oscillators are levers of metal clamped at one end and actuated with the fingers. It is the "Thumb Harp", the "Thumb Piano", etc. Have a look at some simple (beautiful) ones?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumb_piano Yours in Music, Painting, and Penicillin, --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > hi joe... music is the universal language of love some would say... > the brilliance of written musical notes is that it is a universal language > and brings us closer to the realisation we are all ONE > > i would say to your friend..we are all ONE > some have one cousin some have many > at the end of the day > we are all ONE... cousins on the tree of life > > ( i have not been well..have a chest infection doc is concerned it might have > led to pneumonia... am on penicillin as i type) > > merle > > Hi, Merle, > > Welcome back to the Agora. > > A funny thing happened on the way to the Food Court... what was that about > fruits, now? > > My creativity works in fits and starts.
