"Music is therapy and is always good!"

I've made a similar point here before in various messages, including in the Lounge and General Discussion.

But that thread title is a quote from Golden Earring's George Kooymans, in a radio interview he did yesterday that I posted about in a new reply in a Lounge thread about him and his fight against ALS: https://democraticunderground.com/10181674319#post46

I think it's a point that's important to make here, in a forum specifically for music appreciation.

You guys are doing so much good with your posts here. Not just sharing your enjoyment of old and new favorites, probably introducing at least some people here to new music, and widening a lot of horizons. But helping people's emotional and physical health as well.

I can and probably will keep telling you that.

But I'd rather quote a great musician saying that.

Thanks, people, for all you do here.

1. I should really start posting here more.

I have a wide and wacky variety of stuff to share.

2. Music touches people in ways that words can't explain.

I hear so many great songs here.
