Music To Inspire

One of the biggest forms of inspiration I believe there is, is music.

Music can transport you to another time and place, and set your imagination soaring.  It can also nourish an already fertile mind, and grow it into a garden of possibilities.

It has the ability to change your mood, take you on an emotional adventure, and bring change.

In short, music is my muse.

"Music seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain.  Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music."

- George Eliot (English novelist)

Here is a taste of what plays on my iPod as I write. 

Due to sheer volume, I've decided to display the video on the main page, but then list only as a link here, instead.  There was just too much content to load by keeping them all in their video format.
