"Surrounded by the right sounds, we all can be invigorated, energized, and balanced."How true that is.
John Diamond M.D.
If you think about how you feel being in the midst of sirens, traffic noise, car alarms or at work being exposed to loud distracting chatter and compare that to being outside at the beach or near a waterfall...or at your desk working while listening to silence or classical music.
On that note - I've been working and listening to Classical KING FM 98.1 today and heard a story about a cellist who played some soothing music for some passengers stranded in Bozeman Montana.
It reminded me of another story a friend told me about being in a Montana campground where a cellist started to play at dusk. Since I'm a Montana native he asked me if they always did that in Montana. I'm not sure since I don't get back to Montana much these days - but it sounds very nice.

Bach in Bozeman, thanks to cellist
When you're stranded at an airport, music hath charms to soothe the savage passenger.
A Delta flight from Cincinnati to Seattle on Monday had to make an emergency landing in Bozeman, Mont., because of a fuel problem, and about 100 passengers were stuck at the airport for more than five hours. While they were waiting, an announcement came over the speakers: Someone was going to play some music.
"Someone" turned out to be Seattle Symphony principal cellist Joshua Roman, who serenaded his fellow passengers for more than an hour with the Bach Cello Suites and other solo works — while one child danced to the music. Passenger Shelley Grimes recognized him from an article she had read in The Seattle Times.
"Joshua soothed a lot of stressed-out passengers," Grimes reported in an e-mail to this paper. "His performance was incredible, he had a great sense of humor, and he was extremely modest. ... Joshua jokingly added after his performance that he had never played for such a captive audience!"
