Have you ever thought about the power of music and the influential role it has had in the world? It seems that ever since the beginning of time, human beings have been expressing themselves, in one way or another, with musical instruments, dance and song. This medium has also been one of the primary ways for many cultures to preserve their history for the next generation.
It’s simple to recognize that emotions are an necessary part of the whole picture. individuals make music when they are happy, angry, sad, hungry, in love, at war, at peace, searching… just about every emotion or experience may create a creative spark! And the power of music may have either a positive or negative influence in our lives. It may motivate us to take action, whether it be for nice or bad.
In 2005, my husband, James, and I had the opportunity to have two of our tunes used in a film documentary about Hurricane Katrina. This is just one small example of how the power of music may be used as a force for nice. As songwriters,  all of us  consider this unique experience to be one of the highlights we’ve shared together as a married couple.
Lately I have been thinking about other ways to use the power of music for nice. Recently I met with a man who had just returned from Myanmar (Burma). As some of you may know, the individuals in this area have been suffering extreme loss and hardship since the cyclone hit final may and there is a excellent need for food, clothing and medical supplies. Some predictions have indicated that there may be as many as 60,000-80,000 orphans as a result of the storm.
James and I are currently making travel arrangements to visit Myranmar next January. Until then, I am hoping that the power of this music article will draw some attention to the situation.
