I concur that the almost mystical intersection of symbols, wavelengths, resonance and meaning that come to a single place in the heart when a song is played or sung can very well take on the net impact of a personal signal. and the meaning of it can come from the words, the images it conjures, or even the interacting harmonies and notes. I have a jukebox of old songs in my head, ranging from Childs to Willie and wandering all kinds of places in between, and almost every one of them has been in the honored position at the foretruck as a personal signal at one point or another. It's part of the lively internal life of a folk musician -- we aren't just walking archives, you know -- we're living more lives than the average Joe, because we've got all these mazing songs to dive into -- it makes us time travelers and multiple personalities, but it also gives us uncommon breadth in human matters. FWIW. IMNSHO.
