Forget all the discord and decline on the tube or monitor. Get outside where the music is played. Kids stop to stare and wonder. Parents address the possibility of an old fashioned hobby and achievement for young Michael, requiring a certain amount of gifting, rhythm, imagination, practice and motor memory.

MUSIC is the answer; is the tonic; is the focus of gathering or worship or dreaming or community. Come on. Jump in. Clap the hands. Hum the tune.
