Yes! In music, there is hope. By the arts are we civilized. We settle our predatory instincts, calm our inner voice, perceive and conceive ideas of peaceful coexistence, cooperation, coordination to create music. We take what is in children, born in them, existing whether it is written on paper or taught, and give them means to develop their indulgence in it, that they may be civil and compatible in the world with others. I just heard some high school bands playing superlative music about a week ago, and it was my pleasure, and I think theirs.
Так! У музиці є надія. Завдяки мистецтву ми цивілізовані. Ми вгамовуємо свої хижацькі інстинкти, заспокоюємо свій внутрішній голос, сприймаємо та зароджуємо ідеї мирного співіснування, співпраці, координації для створення музики. Ми беремо те, що є в дітях, народжене в них, існуюче незалежно від того, чи це написано на папері, чи навчено, і даємо їм засоби для розвитку їхньої поблажливості до цього, щоб вони могли бути доброзичливими та сумісними у світі з іншими. Тиждень тому я щойно почув, як деякі старшокласні гурти грають чудову музику, і я отримав задоволення, і я думаю, що вони. Будь у безпеці, Алек. Tak! U muzytsi ye nadiya. Zavdyaky mystetstvu my tsyvilizovani. My vhamovuyemo svoyi khyzhatsʹki instynkty, zaspokoyuyemo sviy vnutrishniy holos, spryymayemo ta zarodzhuyemo ideyi myrnoho spivisnuvannya, spivpratsi, koordynatsiyi dlya stvorennya muzyky. My beremo te, shcho ye v dityakh, narodzhene v nykh, isnuyuche nezalezhno vid toho, chy tse napysano na paperi, chy navcheno, i dayemo yim zasoby dlya rozvytku yikhnʹoyi poblazhlyvosti do tsʹoho, shchob vony mohly buty dobrozychlyvymy ta sumisnymy u sviti z inshymy. Tyzhdenʹ tomu ya shchoyno pochuv, yak deyaki starshoklasni hurty hrayutʹ chudovu muzyku, i ya otrymav zadovolennya, i ya dumayu, shcho vony. Budʹ u bezpetsi, Alek.
There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
