David and I just shared

some music back and forth on our computers (he, a fabulous piano piece by a Korean composer; me some of the High Kings video). I said: "Can you imagine how it would be to be a family with no music?" He answered back: "AWFUL!" I can't even begin to conceive of a life without music. No how. No way. Truth is, we're always in Bombadil's house and singing is always more natural than speaking. It's practice for heaven, after all.
