I was listening to KPBS yesterday when I heard an article on the new music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. His comments on music apply as well to the Blues as to the music of a symphony. The following two quotes seemed to me to fit some of the discussions on this board lately.
"Music is something so mystical, so unexplainably a thing you cannot put in the rules or boundaries, you know? It speaks about our feelings about questions of life and death. It goes absolutely beyond any kind of rules."
"It is much more than profession and a job," Nelsons says. "It's not a job. It's life. And we musicians can influence, and are responsible to influence, human hearts when we perform. We have to touch them."
