Some Pearls of Wisdom ...

Many thanks to David Gilligan for bringing these words to our attention ...

Where words fail … music speaks.
A painter paints pictures on canvas, but musicians paint their pictures on silence.
Without music, life would be a mistake.
Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything. 

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
If music be the food of love, play on.

Great music should strike fire from the heart and bring tears from the eyes.
Music is what feelings sound like.
Music can change the world because it can change people.
One good thing about music: when it hits you, you feel no pain.

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.
The world's most famous and popular language is music.
Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not long enough for music.
When people hear good music it makes them homesick for something they never had ...
                                   and never will have.

THANK YOU!

Well, here we are in the festive season and, as the solstice approaches, we gathered on Friday 13th for our annual celebration.

Thank you to everyone who came along to share music, songs, festive food and great company.

Here's a carol that we heard courtesy of Elayne, Suzanne and
Helen ...



If you weren't there, you missed a treat.
Nevertheless, I thank you all who have supported our gatherings throughout the year whenever you have been able.

True ... sometimes our attendances have been small, but the music has never been disappointing.

For the future, we will have another pre-Christmas bash on Friday, 20th, but on Friday 27th we will all be staying at home to recover from seasonal overindulgence!

Keep an eye on the informative blog: cityfolkchi.blogspot.com for details of meetings next year.

... and God bless us, everyone!
