Last Saturday on my way home from the hardware store there was an acoustic guitar version Sweet Child O' Mine playing on the radio. The guy playing had a really good looping pedal and before he was 30 seconds into it I was on the phone calling the radio station to find out who was playing...it is an amazing, beautiful, intense arrangement. By the time I had reached home (only 10 minutes away) I had downloaded the song from iTunes. I have to share it with you! Here's the link to the Youtube video:

This reminded me of something I have known for years: music matters. At one time called "the music of the spheres," humans have always connected with organized sound. Hearing a good song, or being sidetracked by a piece that completely captures you, provides a sweet release and deeper meaning to the mundane, terrible, or wonderful moments of my life. Because of the song, and the story it has created for me, I will always remember last weeks routine Saturday trip to Martin's Hardware.

I read all your posts for November. Some deep and wordy thoughts...Hmm- I somehow knew you were really deep! Love you.
