Music has an amazing influence on my life. I listen and play because I love it. Attending concerts always stirs up emotions. The VSO's performance on Saturday night of Verdi's Requiem brought together many from sadness to elation. Who wouldn't feel something when sitting so close to the offstage trumpets that you can see them wink at you.
Yesterday I had the honor of being at my uncle's burial at the Vermont Veteran's Cemetery in Randolph Center. The setting was beyond beautiful, the pageantry perfect (watching the movements of the soldiers brought tears to my eyes), but for me the most beautiful part was when the musician put the bugle to his lips and played Taps with the birds adding their own melodies in the background. Amazing how one small song can add peace to your entire day.
