Music

You guessed it: I am a music lover! Has music ever brought tears to your eyes? Music can certainly make me cry. It made my dad cry. And when my youngest was a mere baby, my wife had sung this mournful song to him and - to our utter surprise - tears were rolling down his cheeks! How does a child who is just a few months old understand happiness and sorrow? Even babies are spiritual beings!

Below is a list of songs that I dug out from Youtube. I have had to reject a few as the list was so long. You will probably be surprised at the type of music I like.

Enjoy!
