Music adds life to life.

Tonight I was finishing up dinner and I was running late so the natives were a tad restless.  But the broccoli could only cook as fast as broccoli can cook so there was some time to pass.  Gary walked over to the piano and started playing.  Annabel pulled out her electric guitar and joined him.  Shawn walked over to his drumset, turned on his computer to record and joined.  And they jammed.  They sounded great. I stood at the stove and danced while the broccoli sizzled, grateful that this all happened, that it could happen.

Always there is music here.

After dinner Gary showed the kids a video of Chuck Berry playing with John Lennon.  Later Shawn came to me and said that musicians listen to music differently than non musicians, as he commented on a new pop song that he didn't care for much.  "Musicians are more deep about lyrics," he said.  And I wondered what songs he will write some day once he masters the piano he has begun to learn this year.  

We are releasing Gary's new CD, "No Turning Back."  He is getting positive response from fans and new listeners.  Sky is finishing a new CD, and it will be done very soon.

Always there is music.

Here's the latest Gary Marks original song to hear.  It is titled "Words."  The first sentence is great.  "In a life of wandering, never cross a diamond mine with too much money to burn."

Free downloads of his songs are on his Reverbnation and Facebook pages. CDs for sale via moi. Just let me know if you'd like one.
