There are a lot of shyster marketers out there (and it’s a sad commentary to say there are a lot) who want to separate you from your moolah. And they claim to have the keys to success. If you’re willing to opt in, shell out, and upgrade to the “next level” as they build a better mousetrap. But most of them can’t find their … The rest of the story…
I hope you and I never get a brain injury. And no snippy remarks from the peanut gallery. You know who you are. But seriously, there are so many layers of problems when it comes to an injury of your mind’s muscle. And I found some info about how music can help someone with a brain injury. Yeah, this is part of my series … The rest of the story…
Here’s a short story about how music and memories are closely connected. My Dad didn’t really go for high-priced vehicles. In fact, I don’t think he ever bought a new car. But I do remember a couple of times he got fairly close. Like his ’66 Chrysler Newport. And if you’re not familiar with it, the Newport was closer to the top of Chrysler’s … The rest of the story…
I saw a beautiful picture, at around 3 a.m. today. And the beautiful, neon-like lights in the gentle waves of water got me thinking about what causes bioluminescence. I remembered how phosphorus paint glows in the dark. And I remembered how some explain the glow at the edge of the ocean, in the right lighting, as a phosphorous glow. But the picture showed so … The rest of the story…
Music is a drug. Yeah, some people would like you to believe that. And think of it that way. But I don’t believe that’s a healthy way to think of it. And I DO believe music is good for you. I read a quote, supposedly from Bob Marley, where he said “One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain.” That’s … The rest of the story…
Stress and anxiety. Ho-hum, no pro-blum. Right? So life’s a little stressful. And who cares about anxiety? You and I just sing in the face of such things. Like this… In case you can’t see the video copy and paste this link: https://youtu.be/lCE2JiPVkas Anyway… Most joking aside, stress and anxiety are real. And WAY too destructively real for WAY too many people. See if you … The rest of the story…
Negative and positive attitudes can both be caused by something. And you can look around and see plenty of places to put (or lay) the blame. Tyrants in control of many (or most) of the nations. Self-serving, thieving politicians. Ubiquitous drugs, legal and illegal. And the list goes on. But I believe negative and positive attitudes are actually your fault. Because, ultimately, YOU decide … The rest of the story…
I read another interesting article about health benefits from the elements of music. And this article used a couple of words you should never use if you don’t believe in our Creator God. A woman, named Barbara Else, who’s a senior advisor of policy and research at the American Music Therapy Association, said this… “We have a such a deep connection to music because … The rest of the story…
It’s the term for when a record or album sells at least two million copies. And back in 1972, a collection of Christian music was recorded that would become an album of double platinum songs. And that album would become the bestselling gospel album ever. The Queen of Soul sang those double platinum songs. And she sang a lot of other hits, too. In … The rest of the story…
About 5 years ago I had an idea for an abounding grace song. So, I did what I always do. I wrote the lyrics. But there was still something missing. In fact a couple of things still missing. Seems like an abounding grace song would need music. Right? Yeah, that’s usually how it works. Words and music make a song. But I didn’t put … The rest of the story…
