MUSIC & LIFE
I was watching a show the other day, where a young man was invited on
stage to perform a number. After singing for a while, half of the crowd was on
their feet, while the other half were gazing with tears in their eyes, sitting
and watching that performance I was much more than amazed.
Considering his small stature, on a very good day if that same young man
had mounted that stage and asked them all to be on their feet or to break into
tears, he would have probably been thought to be insane. But there he was with

had its way around people's moods, in time past and now.
When the young man was done with his number, he was simply told that
"he could sing a war to its end". Ironically, his voice really did
bring a war to its end; I walked into a discussion which had the singing angel
on earth as its topic. I was so carried away by the discussion that I didn't
realize that amidst us were two people who to say the least were sworn enemies,
apparently they had seen the show together and so were brought to harmony by
his voice. He had truly sung a war to an end.
