@Charlie – Always glad to point people in your direction. You rock. Plain and simple. So it’s kind of a no-brainer for me.

@Mark – Thanks. I really appreciate that a lot. And right on for reconnecting with the inimitable Mr. Byrne. It’s so cool to plug back into this stuff after awhile away, isn’t it?

@Wulfie – Isn’t Evelyn incredible? You may also be interested in the work of Alfred Tomatis. He did some extraordinary research into how we hear sound through our body. There’s a book called Listening For Wellness by Pierre Sollier that’s all about the stuff that Dr. Tomatis did. It’s pretty amazing, and it totally changed my understanding of how we interact with sound.

@Gina – Yep. I loved the video. I’m so stoked that you mentioned it. I’d heard with Ms. Glennie’s music, but somehow this documentary never made it on my radar until you mentioned it. So yay! And thanks! And yeah, Mickey Hart is pretty incredible. His Music to be Born By is pure gorgeousness. (p.s. You so don’t talk too much.)

@Kyeli – Aw, thanks. I like you a lot too. And thanks for your hugs and support. And thanks for your courageous post.

@Hayden – I didn’t know William Kamkwamba was on the Daily Show. I’ll have to see if I can find the interview. I’d love to see it. And I’m totally glad you dug the Evelyn Glennie video. She rocks my world. I didn’t catch the Glee bit, but I’ll be hunting on YouTube for that too. Thanks for two fabulous recommendations. You continue to rock the awesome.

Thank you all for hanging out and saying hey. I appreciate it tons.

Also incredible?

Evelyn Glennie, OH MY GOD SHE’S AMAZING. Thank you for sharing this TED talk!!!

*big hugs* I admire you for talking about your own body stuff – it’s not easy for any of us, and guys are often overlooked in this area – and I think you’re utterly adorable, just as you are. *more hugs*

And then you mention Mickey Hart… another musician I love and respect AND who shares my birthday, by the way (9/11)… did you know he made a piece called “Music to be Born By”, using the heartbeat of his son, Taro, in utero, recorded against the backdrop of gentle, rhythmic percussion, and played during his wife’s labor? (I played it during my first son’s birth too.) Very cool.

I know, I talk too much. You just remind me of all these great things that turn me on, and I think would turn you on too..

Thanks, Fabeku!
