Music of the Spheres

A friend of mine sent me a video link that brought back a series of thoughts about frequencies, music, and how the universe works.  The idea is that everything in the universe down to the quantum level vibrates at certain frequencies that interact with each other.  These interactions are very similar to the way musical frequencies interact with each other.  When we hear a series of musical frequencies they make up the notes and chords that result in music, and by extension the interaction of the frequencies in the universe also make a kind of music also even though it’s not audible in most cases.  In the spirit of this idea, everything interacts in a way that can be harmonious or disharmonious - in tune or out of tune.  By thinking about this down to the tiniest level we can explore thoughts about how we get along with each other, how we comprehend our world, and how we seek the things each day that bring us pleasure and pain.  All are a result of the interactions within us and without us and how we perceive them at all levels.  Pretty heady stuff, and I only lightly touch on what I understand here.  You can see the full video she sent me here - https://youtu.be/AfzjjcXIf9Y.  What do you think?

What have I been up to?

Last week was a little easier on me than the previous week.  Thursday was a wonderful group of folks at the Yellow Pine.  Friday was a beautiful opening reception at the Blue Heron Gallery.  Saturday was a fun party for a dear friend.  Sunday was the first show for the Blue Sky scouts after they rafted.  What a blast!

What's up this week?

Today and Wednesday I do shows for the Blue Sky scouts after their rafting trips.  I won’t say much more about these other than it’s great to see folks heading to Philmont and share some memories and great songs.

Thursday is the barbecue at the Yellow Pine 6:30-8:30, and it just keeps getting better.  The food is wonderful this year as always, and there have been some good friends and new friends already this year.  Make reservations by Tuesday if you’d like to come so they know how much food to make - 719-742-3528.

Saturday 11-1 I’m playing in the park on Ryus in La Veta for Space Art in the Park.  I really love playing in this park for the great folks of La Veta, and this should be a really fun time.  Later that evening I’m headed to play with the La Veta band at good friends’ retirement party in Avondale.

Sunday I’m back with the La Veta band for Jelly Jam at Sammie’s in La Veta again.  I think we’ll be playing 7-10, but we could flex either side of that since it’s the crazy 4th of July weekend.  We’ll have a special guest form Nashville sitting in with us, so this will be extra special.

Whew!  I’m going to be ready for a day off on the 4th.  How about you?  Come on out for some music if you’re in the area where I’m playing, and have a great Independence Day!

Best always,

Tom
