“Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds
you that you have one.” Stella Adler
I’m cheering for these musicians, who have survived Taliban rule and the destruction of their instruments and keep trying to make art. And I appreciate my piano even more now.

During the cultural revolution the Maoists did the same. But one thing is certain --you can try to crush the creative spirit, but it lies dormant for that time when the unnatural forces weaken and falter. Eventually, it rises forth gently and with persistence.
I mean, really - who wants a society with no music? Sheesh.
That made me want to cry...throwing grenades into pianos. I'm glad they are able to start again.
