Thank you for "The Yearning" link, it is beautiful. I have been involved with church music pretty steadily ever since 4th grade. My tastes for personal spiritual listening are pretty eclectic, I listen to a lot of youtube, and have a large collection of CDs. I also have downloaded a lot of music on my MP-3 player (the kids tell me MP-3s are "so yesterday"; I don't care!) The MP-3 player has come in handy at work lately. They have rearranged a lot of office spaces lately to accommodate a new product line taking up more space. Recently they moved three maintenance guys to the office across the hall from mine. These guys spend a lot of time yakking loudly about politics. Which drives me nuts when I'm trying to concentrate on getting reports out. That's where the MP-3 player comes in; I put the earpieces on and play some religious selections. I can't hear the talkers, and it is calming and allows me to concentrate.Katherine Nielsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309113327087187334noreply@blogger.com
