Barbara..
I agree with you that music can feed the soul. There is *always* music on
in our house, in my car.. I'm even in charge of the CD player at the office,
LOL..
One thing I might suggest is that you keep a look out in the paper for local
concerts put on by various schools, etc. In our community, the twice annual
Pops concert put on by our local HS students is a HUGE event. There might
be independant ensembles that have concerts as well, that wouldn't cost as
much as the Houston Symphony.
I"m lucky though.. as I get treated to live music several tims a week, as my
son has rehearsals in my basement :-)
And few weeks ago, he had a timpani solo when they performed at Boston's
Symphony Hall.. it was AWESOME... Just imagining all the wonderful musicians
that have played on that stage.. Wow...
Anyway.. perhaps there is a way you can enjoy the music you love now, rather
than having to wait.. I sure hope so!..
