Oliver Wendell Holmes has suggested that ‘many people die with their music still in them.’ If he’s referring to the sounds I’m trying to produce with my piano, I agree. The music is still in me somewhere!
However, I don’t think he was referring to my attempts to play the piano, although he himself was a poet and writer of songs. I think he meant the part of our lives that I call our shadow, the part that is always there, but in the background.
