Appreciate very much your comment on my drawing of "O.P." which incidently stands for the late Oscar Peterson,an increbible jazz pianist from Montreal.
Eyes are the window to the soul,get them wrong and the drawing becomes flat,getting them right is often a bit of luck but mostly concentration and instinct.
That is beautiful. I fully agree that more of us, if not all, should find their inner childhood spirit and dance or move as though no ones watching at least once in a while.
It is also great that you have found something which sounds like you love doing at such a young age. You are going to have a very fulfilling career and future if you keep this up. You are the type of teacher music students need.
Essentially I agree with what you say but would like to add that sounds and silences are also intergel in giving you a context to remember something that other wise might be lost amidst the plethora of of events that are for ever going on in our daily lives.
Once very briefly at a Mensa meeting in Montreal (my father was the member) I met an American composer by the name of John Cage who had actually composed a piece of "music" of so many minutes in length where he or the musician would come out on stage take a seat and sit still for the designated period of time then get up bow and leave the stage,not sure if he was ever asked back for encores but you get his point.
As a child growing up in a dichotomus family music helped keep me together, enervated and inspired me.
It is with out doubt one of the most important things in all our lives whether some of us realize
it or not.
Thanks for getting me going could keep on but am sure you have better things to do.
If 2 million bucks dropped in my lap today, I'd probably do the unglamorous thing by investing in a Roth IRA for myself and my sister. I'd donate a chunk to my parent's charitable foundation (so they could give more than a few hundred bucks a year away). Lastly, in the wake of the natural disasters in Asia, I'd donate to the relief efforts. Well actually, I'd probably buy myself a new laptop, one that will actually fit in my back pack.
I wouldn't ever spend my 2 000 000. Stupid as it sounds. I would just...have it. Why ruin my time and life figuring out what to do with this money. Yeah, I could give it to a homeless person except how do I know they're aren't going to spend my money in some useless way. I mean this is MY money.
I hope I never ever win the lottery or any large amount of money for that matter. It'd just make my life much more frustrating.

I would pay off my college
I would give some to the American Cancer Society
I would start a child safety house too many kids fall through the cracks in todays society
And I know it is superficial but I would buy myself a metallic purple convertable mustang
