Okay. Time for fun! TGIS...(Thank God It's Saturday)
I am lifting up and sharing an inspirational message which I wrote back in December 2006 on the topic of the "healing sounds of music" with my pop slant of course. It has been parked on my blog at
Riottt.com since December of last year.
I know that I'm a little late,but please let this serve as the weekend inspiration,appropriately on the subject of music that you can actually listen to.Tonight there is a full moon. So,kick up your heels,snuggle up and enjoy some soothing sounds. It is my "Music Sculpture" for you to share with your friends,if you'd like...

Airlift II Dec 08, 2006 | 08:00 AM
AirliftThis is a "music sculpture"(patent pending), playlist entitled "Airlift II" and it is dedicated to all my friends out there who just want and need to be "lifted up" and loved.
Unlike bronze,woodl,stone. clay,or canvas, "music sculptors" use music, songs and lyrics as their artistic medium of expression, designing musical mixes using themes that soothe the heart,mind and soul. Their designs are multi-dimensional and can bring other textures and mediums to bear on the ultimate concept as well.I've discovered throughout the years that music is a pretty potent multi-level healer and that a song can in combination quite often with other things,perform laser sharp heart(figuratively speaking),psychic and emotional surgery.
Vibrating into knooks ,crannies and crevices of the heart that would otherwise go untouched, I don't think any other medium surpasses its non-invasive,yet tremendously subtle fluid delivery. Yes. For raw or subtle emotional impact, a song is definitely the way to go.
So sit back and relax as surgery is performed on your soul and psyche with beautiful musical skill and precision.If you feel like swaying your body, popping your fingers or jumping up and down while shouting to the rhythym of the music,by all means go for it.Part of the cure is the fun you experience while listening.Another part, is going with the flow of the tears or sighs that an old sentiment evokes as a musical note or two puts you in touch with it.
"Airlift II" is one of the featured playlists on Heavier Octaves Radio.It is one of the "Lobluja"--Love Blues and Jazz mixes. Airlift II music sculpture will be available as a podcast. It is currently available on itunes as an
imix as well as on our ilike friends' broadcast.
