Let My Children Hear Music

So, I didn't get back to the previous post over the weekend, but I will. Powers' piece was too moving not to finish my thoughts on it. In the meantime, this today from BBC News about people who suffer from amusia, the inability to perceive music. To those afflicted, all music sounds the same...unpleasant.

Can you imagine not being able to hear Mingus' Let My Children Hear Music?

Another thing to be grateful for today...

That Mingus record is some righteous $#*+! Very thought provoking article by Ann Powers (if i may i dare an illegal blog border crossing) as well. I may not understand what the hell she's on about but blame all the years of termite-gnawing.....
