There were about 800 songs on the tape. I make videos for a living, have played in bands and write music and songs. In that 10 seconds nearly every song brought an image of a person, a couple, an event or a feeling into my consciousness. Music is truly the soundtrack of our lives and encapsulates so much in so few words and notes. I can't imagine my life without music I have taken part in 2 different market research studies for radio stations where we where asked to listen to about ten seconds of a song, rate it on a like scale from 1 to 5, and decide if it was played too much or too little.

The arts play a huge therapeutic role in the lives of so many whether it is music, art, acting, etc. It’s amazing how getting someone into a hobby such as a creative one can change their lives in immeasurable ways! Not to mention, if it can become a professional career such as what you were blessed to experience! To do what you love every day for a living. No words to explain...Keep playing! Thank you for your comment. Dr. KC www.DOCintheBiz.com www.GLCzone.com Dear Derek,

When I was working on stage, whenever I was stressed or in a bad mood about something during the day, within minutes of me starting work, I could feel the stress fall away. Since I stopped working as a pro. musician back in the 70s, I have kept playing nearly every day and in my work as a therapist, I have got several clients playing an instrument (some already had piano/keyboards, some guitars. Some had never played a note in their life, but just the act of learning and creating simple tunes, had a very positive effect on their stress levels..

Music does help.

So does writing when I don’t focus on the crap in my own life.
