"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."

Ok the quote above is one of my favorite quotes. If you have not notice by now that I love music then you REALLY are not looking! Music = life. 
I play clarinet in my high school band, I love it so much. Music is the only thing that can express all my feelings, at the same time. When I am upset I can just play music and everything seems to melt away.  And the best thing about it is that music connects so many people, that in regular circumstance would not even know each other existed. 

I get the question offend “Carolyn why are you dancing without any music on?” But my answer is always the same. I am not music is all around us. Everything has a pitch whether frequent or not. "There is not noise, only sound." So there for music is life. Without music there would be no sounds at all. Without music life would be silent, that would so boring. Aren't you happy music exists.
And let’s not forget the beats! I love it when Rick goes into the garage and just lays it down. When rick was in the 8 ^th grade he made up his mind that he wanted a drum set. So he did, right now it sits in our garage and brings joy to your life. With out percussion instruments life would have no rhyme (figuratively and literally). It would be like the Beatles without Ringo.  Or Nirvana without Kurt Cobain..... now that is not right. 

But that is not all Rick plays he can pick up ANY instrument and play it. But regularly he plays French horn/melephone and piano. But has played my clarinet, the trumpet, violin, and harmonica. Not only does Rick have talent but so does my dad, my grandpa, my sister... I guess it runs in the family:) Just a couple months ago i went to my grandparents house and my Big Daddy sat down at the piano and PLAYED. He played with passion, with sadness with joy, and most of all with love. The notes just resonated threw the room. It was probably forever be my favorite memory of my Big Daddy.
