It's an Honour

I feel so honoured in this life to know and talk with musicians and artists who make a difference in this world, who are filled with passion, caring and concern for life. This week I spoke with tenor Ken Lavigne of Chemainus, BC. Through his music and concerts it is his heart-felt desire to instill hope and inspiration. Ian Parker, one of Canada's leading pianists, told me the other day about how he looks upon his teaching of music as a means to help young people through this life. And while I write these words, I think again of John Forrest and the legacy of music he has left behind. Music - the universal language that transcends all cultures, emotions and experiences.
