Music is an extra-semantic way of communication, aimed at our inarticulate subconsciousness, at the deep layers of the soul. Music is not ear to ear, it is soul to soul.

"Preserving blues, and acoustic music in general, is crucial to our society’s mental health. It’s a world away from computers, television, traffic, and troubling political events.
