I haven't been on this post in over a year. I used to read all the posts regularly, but then my husband got very sick with cancer. He passed away April 2005 and the music stopped, too. I don't know if any of you remember me, but the music is coming back and I have to play again. I'm glad you are still posting on this web site. I have the KN6500. Glad to be back online.

I’m glad to see you back, there are many good people here who care.
Music can do so much, it can bring so many emotions, happy and sad.
It is also a place to get lost in, and it is a big help in healing.

During my worst times music has been my friend. When divorce came and all seemed so impossible I would go to my studio and play and for a little while all was at peace. I would go to play a job and when the music started I was renewed, I no longer felt my pain. As soon as the music stopped all came back, but that four-hour period of playing music was a healer.

In December 19,1994 my wife passed away. That New Years Eve, twelve days after she had passed I was booked to play at her mother’s condo. It was not easy, I thought I would not make it. I tried to avoid the faces I knew. As I was about to start playing they all stood up and began to applaud. They just kept applauding for a long time. Music is a healer if you allow.
