Happy Merry Musical Break

The world is full of music all year, and this season is the peak for me. As families gather for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year celebrations, music reminds us of the traditions of our past and offers us new ways to create and enjoy them in this fleeting piece of 2009.
Make sure you "strike the harp and join the chorus" this week. Become a part of the season, the tradition, and the music of life. Music may not come in a box and sit on a shelf, but the songs you share with your family and friends are a priceless, unrepeatable gift.
Pass it on.
