No human society, present or past, has lacked music. Music is therefore one of the very few human universals, which puts it on the same level as food and sex.

We just finished watching ONCE and I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the film and the music.

“No matter what your musical tastes, “Once” will reinforce your belief in the power of melody and harmony to heal one’s inner wounds.” (READ REVIEW HERE)

I discovered the band Guster the other day when I was grabbing lunch at Estelle’s. They reminded me of Toad the Wet Sprocket.

I posted a while back how much I was enjoying “Little Voice” by Sara Bareilles – so I am glad to see her getting so much good press lately. I set the tivo to catch her on the Early Show tomorrow! Check out her video for Love Song.

And Steve wrote a great recap of our trip to Asheville last month to see David Wilcox. It wasn’t a typical concert, and David didn’t sing many of his best songs, but he DID sing “Show the Way” which our good friend Dave Burkum sang at our wedding in 1995.

It is…

Love who makes the mortar

And it’s love who stacked these stones

And it’s love who made the stage here

Although it looks like we’re alone

In this scene set in shadows

Like the night is here to stay

There is evil cast around us

But it’s love that wrote the play…

For in this darkness love can show the way
