The Music Moves



The music moves the jazz dancer
Music moves the club hopper
Music moves the soul of the gospel singer
music moves like the hands on a constant ticking clock.

Music moves like the water flowing to the shore after a wave has subsided
Music moves like a finely tuned car rolling quietly down a long endless freeway.
Music moves like a conversation between two old friends apart for years or like two sisters reminiscing over childhood memories after their parents are no more.
Music moves ... can you feel it.

    As a man who played drums for years and knows the lyrics to over a thousand songs, I think I can get onboard with this wisdom. Thank you for lifting us with your talent, Tammie.

    Music is the art that goes into the ear
    And straight to the Heart ! It sooths the savage breast and tames the wildest beast !
