Stefanie, thanks for sharing that. I also have never heard of Brainticket. They are added to my “list”.
This the greatest thread on the whole WWW. So much to glean from here. Sometimes things resonate deeply, sometimes they slide off, but the fundamental take away is a broadening horizon of Music.
Music is magic. Those that “get it”, like us here, appreciate artistic endeavors of others and sometimes it makes us giggle, cry, reflect, bounce, bop and run around the room.
A while back my niece had her first choir performance at the college she is attending, she also did a dance performance. It was streamed live, a large choir, 100+ voices, full orchestra and their finale was Oh Come All Ye Faithful.... old tired, played out, heard it a thousand times...
BUT
They nailed it, and near the end of the song the camera pans the singing heads and there is a woman singing with tears streaming down her cheeks, the camera continues panning and the woman next to her is caught with a sob gasping out of her throat as she holds on - and I am sobbing, caught in the present moment and relishing the raw passion. And THAT is what music is, not the notes on the paper but that deep reaching, soul stirring feeling.
And hence this thread allows me to dabble in other arenas and it is truly appreciated.
Thanks to all that contribute to this thread.
