About the Art:Listen! Music fills a room Like soft sunlight through sheer lace curtains And those simple youthful melodies are played Time and time again. At first with fumbling fingers And then with practiced perfection The work soon becomes second nature. The notes have not changed but the student has. With each lesson learned another page is turned And the cycle begins anew. The young ones observe those older And follow in their path. Each maestro has their mentor And each pupil their faithful fan. There is pleasure in each performance Be it childish or complex. And we seem to enjoy the recitals most Not when judged in a contest, But rather when shared in a concert, Where every soul resonates with a music uniquely its own, A music which becomes richer As it harmonizes with that of others. Our life is but a picture within a picture, A single note within a score. Let us use it well. Let us seek to learn and then learn to share So that each day is a dress rehearsal For a grand performance yet to come! Greg Olsen - 1993
