gee... usually its the kids i've taught... listening to them... that was sooo wonderful. having some young women choreograph a dance to a song i wrote...

having a whole choir of kids sing holding candles... a program i had helped them put together in a chico montessori school.... the whole procession and chant and the harmonies of the children was fabulous...

having the wind play my harp out in the garden....

and playing a festival right before pete seeger -- and having his kind words about our performance... and then the magic of his performance... and the power going out... and my friend who was doing sound walking forlorn through the crowd singing, "where has all the power gone...." ... and then pete getting the whole audience to sing... continuing his show with no sound until it was finished....

having an old man from scotland in tears commending us on a song, "hind horn" --we couldn't find a melody for it... so made one up... and this man cried and told us it reminded him of the olde days.. we wanted him to let us know how it was sung in his memory.. and he said, just like you sang it!

magic... music... magic... music...
