"Musical Tinkle" from Marie Wintzer

[Nancy Bell Scott]

This deeply inspiring boekie arrived from Marie in the winter. It means a lot to me on many levels. I don't know whether others received and blogged a version of Musical Tinkle, but here is what I was lucky to receive: 

It's lovely, nuanced, thought-provoking; and it arrived when I found myself on a musical tipping point, at just the right moment. Many heartfelt thank yous to Marie.

Claire and Alicia, thank you for your specific comments, always so helpful. "Earnest poems"--that you added poems to earnest is so relieving, you can't imagine. I often think they might be too earnest and therefore foolish or whatever, and then plan to tone it down in future blogs, which never actually happens. One of those fruitless plans we should throw out as soon as we conceive them because deep down we know it will never happen--if it goes against one's nature. Marie's book has stayed out on my desk; finally blogging it was like discovering it anew.

A "musical tipping point", yes, i agree Claire, Nancy's blogs read like earnest poems.  and a lovely book from Marie.

"... lovely, nuanced, thought-provoking..." - what marvelous and succinct adjectives you use Nancy: agreed!

A gathering of Marie's now famous chopsticks accompanied this piece, and they're visible every day in our house ...
