Though I think the line-up in wisdom is stronger (so poignant to hear from Ted Kennedy--his wisdom is greatly missed over here), there is some wisdom in the music trailer, as well: "Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music." (John Williams) Thank you for finding this!Susan Scheidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250142489341777926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-8563900338559267512011-08-28T03:04:58.440+01:002011-08-28T03:04:58.440+01:00Listening, watching and learning from those who ha...Listening, watching and learning from those who have gone before me.
