In reply to L. Marie.

Thank you for the well-wishes. I am indeed doing much better. 🙂
As for music, well, its positive attributes are multitudinous. I’ve gotten back on the practice stool for a shorter amount of time than usual, but at least it’s a start.
Hope this Easter/Passover/Holy Season is blessing you.
Take care

I’m sorry you’ve been laid up in pain. I hope you’re feeling better these days. Music is always a help, isn’t it? When I’m feeling miserable, I have a whole playlist of music to listen to. Perks me right up!

Particularly love the reminder of Kamakawiwo’ole’s Over the Rainbow. My sister asked that we play it at her funeral and it was the most moving part of the ceremony. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Today is indeed a new day. I’m looking forward to seeing how ‘God’s smiles’ are revealed as it unfolds. Thanks for the reminder. 😉
Glad my selection of vids have imparted some creative inspiration for you, also. Remember my obsession with composing/transcribing existing rep for LUTE and CG?!? I wasn’t too far off base, maybe just a little ahead of my time, heh!

In reply to Bob Cloud. Thanks for the the get well wishes, Bob. You're right, there is something deeply therapeutic about Iz's rendition of OTR.

Hi Laura, I hope the backaches aren’t too debilitating : ( : ( : (
Hey, I like the “creative crock pot of silence.” My creativity works like that too: it simmers for a long time sometimes…
Those videos are very cool, especially the one with the koto. Is that Jimi “turning Japanese”? (You really think so????)
I’ve seem Iz with the uke before. I get the wonderful impression that he’s sharing his dreams with all of us. Bravo! Good for him. His singing is very calming to me, in the same sort of way that Dean Evenson’s “Soundings of the Planet” albums are. Take it easy, friend. Think beautiful thoughts. God smiles on us each day, and spring is just around the corner…Best Wishes, David R

Sorry you’re dealing with a back spasm and I wish you a full recovery. My back seems to hate me too so I can relate and sometimes the best therapy is just plain rest. Also a shot or three of ” Jack Black” helps me cope but you might prefer a comfortable sip of a burgundy from somewhere high.
Your media selections included above are excellent. I have not heard that rendition of “Over the Rainbow” in many years and it was good therapy for me tonight and the math foundation of music is fascinating..
Get well soon.
Bob
