LuckyGirl I think that was a very appropriate quote to have been read at your concert tonight. Why on earth would anyone think otherwise confused

I think that's a wonderful sentiment.

Violence only begets more violence. We've tried fighting fire with fire for thousands of years and still haven't learned that it doesn't work.

Sod that. It's going to take more than music. God help us all.

That was a ridiculous post. Sorry, but I really think it was. hmm

“This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.” Leonard Bernstein.

Before the Schubert concert I sang in tonight this quote was read out in memory of those who died and were injured in Paris.
