Permissible Delights of the Soul
“Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul.”
~ Johann Sebastian Bach
So, being our first Christmas apart, ever, Miquel and Jenny wasn’t sure what to get me for a present. I hinted that music is never a wrong present for me and that I had a whole list of songs I wanted, and I didn’t have. So they sent me an Amazon Gift card and I have managed to decide which ones on the list to get first. Thank you so much, Jenny and Miquel, I have had a ball shopping!!!
Only trouble is, I still have a long list. I suppose it’s been a very long time since I’ve bought music and added to my collection, and on some occasions, I think I should just get the entire CD, there are some talents out there, I seem to enjoy everything they do. The biggest surprise? Tom McBride, of all things he has a song about Glen Burnie and being a little homesick, I went ahead and downloaded the .MP3. But gee, I listened to the CD on Amazon and it’s rather good.

Not sure John is a fan of my new penchant for a fiddle and a waltz with Jay Unger and Molly Mason, but I can’t seem to get enough. One might also notice some Australian influence.
I might have to add funds to that card…
