Whitney Lives

I live out in the country.  Almost every day I hear music floating across the fields and valleys.  I hear lots of traditional music.  I hear bands playing eventos, weddings, birthdays and quinceañeras.  I hear musicians practicing - there is a killer tuba player that lives somewhere near.  I hear the stuff coming out of loudspeakers planted on top of cars, mostly VW bugs.  I hear the military bands every now and then.

But this morning, while it was still cool and calm, off in the distance, nice and clear, I heard someone playing "Whitney Houston's "I will always love you."  It was a wonderfully beautiful moment... and so sad.  That is one of the beauties of music/art/words, they live on after we are gone.
