Thank you, sidarta, for bringing samples from that mysterious region which keeps me reminded that Europe and Asia are a single land mass. I read up on Macedonia while I was listening to Esma Redzepova. May peace continue its growth for the cultural diversity we once called Yugoslavia.

The formal speech therapy which used music to break the isolation of my mutism was important in my life. I believe I have developed that humble beginning in important ways I still cannot describe.
