A friend just shared this video with me.  I thought some of you might like it as well.  Comments from a number of musicians, many of whom you know, about music.  .

Dave, that was great.  It gets down to the fact that music can be and should be something magical that touches people's souls.

I got smitten when at the age of 13 I first heard Jimi Hendrix's 'Voodoo Chile(Slight Return)' It still makes the hairs on my neck stand up when I hear it.
Being listening, playing and passionate about music ever since.

speaking of music check this out!

Dave, thanks for that. nobody mentions that sometimes music saves lives, but it does. Thankfully  at a vulnerable time, that person hears a song that turns it all around, the song that answers the question or makes them realize they're not alone...I'm not trying to write those songs but I'm glad some people can, as they've helped me along the way...Ozzy's comments were funny, as I'm kinda shy mostly but onstage I hit a different gear; as soon as I put on my instrument, it's like my power belt...Tony

thanks, Dave. It's good to hear the truth about what music is and can be. the reason we do it. Happy holidays,everyone.
