Reply To: Beautiful music, does it make you cry, does it make you dance? It does for me.

[Kacey Smith]

Music has always been therapy for me. I’ve played drums for 34 years. I was in band all through school. I’ve continued to play socially and a few performances. I also love to sing and play guitar. My son is a brilliant pianist that is completely self taught and plays in school band. My daughter can play violin, French horn and recently learned trombone for jazz band. We used to perform together on stage when we used to attend church. Their mother and I were in band together.
Music has always been able to change my mood depending on the type of song. Some make me cry every time. My first concert was Whitney Houston and it sparked something in me. “I will always love you” always brings the tears. Dave Matthews Band “Crash into me” and “41”. Sometimes we’ve been bottling things up inside and it’s a release for me.
