supporting musicians

all those years ago, before her sister came in second on the voice, after i handed her a hundred dollar bill and she gave me a big hug, i saw the look in her eyes which changed from disbelief to hope during the hug (she realized i wasn't looking for anything other than to offer some support at a time in need) and i know i chose well in supporting an up and coming musician... it was the heart and pleasure i saw on stage that lead me to donate to her music... the band had just been robbed and had to replace all of their instruments and equipment and she was surprised when i put the money in her hand and said she couldn't and i said she could and she will and her eyes filled with tears and her hug was so real... it is still a great memory and she is still a very wise heart...

reading her blog and listening to her music reminds me of how vital music is to me, especially to the personal me, and even though my dream of finding a collaborator share the song writing process and i do not spend nearly as much time listening, playing, singing, or writing music as i used to... the love for the song and the sound and the messages songs can convey does not wane... just missed all the more...
