My therapist has sung a song on occasion. He has a very nice voice but when he sings it's not about keeping on tune or anything it's about something more, something like...gentleness, calmness, quietness, safety, care and concern.

So, I wouldn't call it 'music therapy' but it has a piece fo music therapy about it. I think I use music on myself, more to sooth than connect.

I'm not sure where in the brain but perhaps music goes more to the place where there is no speech/language, a prelanguage time perhaps. Maybe art (painting, drawing, etc) doesn't connect there quite as easily, if at all.

I hope to have a website but I will take it as it comes. It certainly will be a dream come true but the dream may look different in reality.

The artwork is very particular to this site and vice versa. I aleady have some of the graphics done but it will take a bit of doing yet. But yes, I will put it out there when done. It's good to have something to work toward.

It will be pretty different than this site. This is an amazing site. I've been looking around for a few days now and am amazed at it's depth! I am grateful I have a bit of time to look these days and plan on checking in regularly even when I don't have as much time.

Thanks for everyone's input on this subject and for starting it in the first place! Definately interesting to me.
