Good Evening. Monocle.]*

My passion is in the music and here on the spaces there is so much from everywhere.
There is so much to be appreciated to be able to listen to a variety of music; some signed and some unsigned.
I am a music critic and taking a break for the season.
I do miss the challenges of critiquing the music but I will not be back to my critic work on My Space for personal reasons.
I may do some promoting in the future.

Music is Life, Like Air is to Breath...

"The aim of music, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility
to be found in every man and in the world.
It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily.
No great work has ever been based on hatred and contempt.
On the contrary, there is not a single true work of music that has not in the end
added to the inner freedom of each person who has known and loved it."
Written By J: 2008

Thank you for your Friendship!

Have a Fantastic Night!
