Music plays a central role in all of our lives. Even if your experiences are limited to listening to the radio, it’s virtually impossible to go a whole day without hearing at least one song.

Hearing Your Heroes In The Flesh

June 15, 2017 0 Comments

(Image Source) Most people have fond connections with at least a few pieces of music. The way the instrumentation makes your hair stand on end; or, the way their voice makes tears form in your eyes.
