"Music is the divine way to tell
beautiful, poetic things to the heart." –Pablo Casals "We are the music makers, and
we are the dreamers of the dream. Wandering by lone sea breakers, and sitting by desolate streams. World losers and world

curl my back to lonliness. -Maya Angelou

woven. ~Lawrence Duncan
