marcoujor: Musical Intermission - "M"

The following quotation seems applicable to all of us - no matter our age, role or career path: 

"Don't just learn, experience. Don't just read, absorb. Don't just change, transform. Don't just relate, advocate. Don't just promise, prove. Don't just criticize, encourage. Don't just think, ponder.Don't just take, give. Don't just see, feel. Don't just dream, do. Don't just hear, listen. Don't just talk, act. Don't just tell, show. Don't just exist, live." -- Roy T. Bennett

​​Experience, absorb, transform, advocate, prove, encourage, ponder, give, feel, do, listen, act, show, live ... To me, these action verbs are a choice of mindfulness over mindlessness.

​Now I'm hoping you don't mind if my musings immediately merge into music mentioning the letter "M"...

Something Old:

​At first, I didn't realize this video of Marrakesh Express had a follow-up song. Listen on for a rendition of Blackbird that rivals McCartney's ...    

Something New:

​From Blackbird to Mockingbird, hmmmm...! Ruston Kelly has a sound I could listen to for a long time to come. Check out this newer country artist who has the voice of a Grand Ole Opry legend. 

Something Borrowed:

​I fell in love with the violin all over again when I was introduced to Lindsey Stirling  by my friend, Cynthia. You're in for a treat if this magnificent musician is new to you (or not).  

Something Blue:

​This "train story set to music" is about as blue as it gets - including a harmonica that has a mind of her own... :)
