Helen....I think the CD "Farewell" is absolutely a stress reducer/eliminator....and have no question that there's a volume of music that helps individuals to relax. But I have yet to find the words to articulate the medical stuff I see happen....every once in a while...with a very specific piece of music. My ongoing frustration is the inability to find the "common denominators". To my ear...."Farewell" and "Alaskan Suite" have absolutely no similarity...musically. (I hope Frank checks back here!!)
