I'll have to try that one. Most 70s music doesn't do much for me, except Cat Stevens and a few others.

Believe it or not, I used to sing 'This is the New Frontier', 'Coal Tattoo,' and 'Where Have All the Flowers Gone' around the campfire at Flathead Lake. All 60s. I learned Coal Tattoo from a professional musician who later joined "The New Christy Minstrals." Have you ever heard of them? I don't sing or play any more. Never did it well.

My daughter had a composer friend who was getting off the ground with movie scores. He had one called "A Texas Funeral." You should like that one as it starred that guy who plays the President in West Wing, Martin Sheen. The score was delicate and unintrusive and set the many deep moods very well. It's a great example of how important music is to our emotions. The movie was never released in theatres for whatever reason, but it is out on video.

I spoke to Jim Legg several times when he called my daughter. He even wrote a piece on his demo CD named after her, "Heather." Unfortunately, Jim electrocuted himself in a tangle of his sound equipment wires. They found him a day later when he didn't show up at the studio. What a waste.

Music is very powerful, possibly more powerful than the pen and far more powerful than mere steel weapons.
