Subject: RE: Thought for the Day (Sept 13)
If love is defined by the way it gets under your skin, then music and love are definitely related! I, too, find bits of songs running through my head as organically and unconsciously as my breathing. The fact that the songs are different depending on the day may speak to the fickleness of this sort of love -- or of the ability of folk music to speak meaningfully to so many different moods and circumstances. At any rate, I often find myself becoming annoyed when someone else's idea of what I should be "listening" to (like Muzak) interrupts the snatch of tune playing in my head. By the way, for the past two days it's been "Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still," which was printed in the latest issue of the CDSS newsletter. Gorgeous song collected in North Carolina by Frank and Anne Warner. The version I hear is Sara Grey's ethereal singing of it.
