Music Calms the wild beast, and the sick
As I sit here today, my head is foggy, hurts and I’m starting to get body aches. I’m the last of our family to get the flu. My oldest was diagnosed with swine flu. The kids are better but the adults are not feeling as well.
As I sit here today Scott is playing Cannon in D on the piano. The sound of music is wafting through through my home setting the mood for a much calmer afternoon. I never realized how much I missed the sound of music in my home until last night. I used to play all the time, but eventually grew apart from my piano.
Scott of course isn’t a piano player, but plays guitar. At least that’s what he says anyway. He can’t play very smoothly yet, but with a little practice he is getting better by the day. Its funny to watch him play, because he taught himself. He knows the notes better than I do, but his fingers look so awkward. Music encompasses most of his life. No matter what is going on, there is music around him.
When we met I knew that he played rock music, and wasn’t into country. What I didn’t know however, was that he loves classical music also. To hear classical music in my house on a day like today is like having a wonder drug. It has calmed me more than any medicine. My headache has nearly lifted, and the tightness in my back is easing. His stress level has come down, and this has been a really rough week for him. Last night Kayla went to sleep while he played.
I usually have the television on or the radio, but having a piano or guitar being played, has made my house into a home.
