HEALING MUSIC

OUR DAUGHTER MAKES HER LIVING WRITING AND PERFORMING LIVE MUSIC. THIS HAS ALL BUT SHUT DOWN FOR HER (AND HER FIVE BANDS).

WE, AS OUR BAND ‘SPIRITLINE‘, HAD TO CANCEL OUR LAST 6 SHOWS DUE TO COVID.

WE AREN’T ALLOWED TO SING AT CHURCH ANYMORE AND WE DON’T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND LIVE MUSIC CONCERTS AT OUR FAVOURITE INDOOR VENUES ANYMORE.

I FEEL VERY BLESSED THAT MUSIC OFTEN FILLS OUR HOME.  ONE OF US IS EITHER REHEARSING OR WRITING NEW SONGS. TERRY IS NOODLING AROUND ON THE PIANO OR WE HAVE THE IPAD PLAYING TUNES AS WE ENJOY DINNER TOGETHER. 

SILENCE IS ‘GOLDEN’ AS THEY SAY.  BUT MUSIC IS HEALING. 

I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO PERFORMING FOR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS FROM OUR FRONT PORCH ON LABOUR DAY WEEKEND.  IT WILL FEEL SO GOOD TO PERFORM AGAIN AND FINGERS CROSSED THAT WE GET A SUNNY EVENING.

WE HAVE A LARGE FRONT PORCH AND I THINK IT WILL BE THE PERFECT ‘STAGE’ FOR THE CONCERT AND AN EASY CONNECTION TO POWER WITHIN THE HOUSE. WE WILL MARK OUT SOCIAL DISTANCING SPOTS ON OUR FRONT LAWN AND JUST PLAY FOR AN HOUR.

TERRY IS SINGING MANY, NEVER HEARD BEFORE , BRAND NEW SONGS BUT I AM GOING TO MOSTLY STICK WITH THE NEW ,TOUR ALBUM MUSIC.  I’VE DECIDED TO INCLUDE ONE BRAND NEW SONG (OF THE 10 I’VE WRITTEN SINCE COVID) BECAUSE I’M NOT GOOD AT MEMORIZING MY OWN MUSIC..HA HA.

I PRAY THAT SOMEDAY WE WILL GATHER SAFELY INDOORS OR OUTDOORS TO FEEL THE HEALING POWER THAT COMES FROM MUSIC : ROCK, GOSPEL, CLASSICAL, ALTERNATIVE, EASY LISTENING, INSTRUMENTAL, MUSICALS, BLUES…EVERY KIND OF MUSIC OFFERS PEOPLE THE CHANCE TO DREAM, SING ALONG, OR SMILE.  WE TAP OUR FEET , FEEL THE BEAT, AND REMEMBER WHEN….

MAY YOU ALL FEEL THE HEALING POWER OF A SONG IN YOUR HEART THIS WEEK.
