Somebody has to do something
and it's incredibly pathetic that it has to be us.
--- Jerry Garcia
Not sure when I started. Seems like forever. But suffice it to say I always had music playing in my office. It provided many things and eased stress for most.
Music....can name the un-nameable
and communicate the unknowable.
--- Leonard Bernstein
I would often get into the office around 7 am or before. My first song in the morning was “Start Me Up” by The Rolling Stones, with the volume loud enough to start things up for anyone within earshot. My office was a few doors down from the MD CEO and he would often come in shortly after me and pass my office on the way to his. His usual routine was to pass without looking or to look in like he was curious. I kept waiting for him to ask me to turn the volume down, but it never happened.
Who hears music, feels his solitude peopled at once.
--- Robert Browning
As it happened one day I didn’t get the music started right away, and he walked past and then came back and walked in. I looked up and he looked at me with a concerned look and asked if everything was okay. I said it was, and wondered why he was asking. His answer, “No music, I take it for granted to get started up.” I immediately turned around and fired it up. He smiled broadly and eased on down the hall.
The day began with a smile.
Music expresses that which cannot be put into words
and that which cannot remain silent.
--- Victor Hugo
I know it worked in at least three states and one foreign country.
Always wondered if anyone else....
