1210donna ::: Favorites Yes, I have been told that about Chagall before. His work is very beautiful. I also like Matisse. Perhaps because the emphasis is on movement and form. :-) 07-07-13 02:58:46 _____________________________________________________

1210donna ::: Favorites I was left with a record player in infancy. It was a 60s one like a toaster and you could post singles into the top and they'd play then pop up. I was surrounded by classical, rock and roll, blues since toddlerhood and this showed a great love of rhythm but I was too scared to touch a piano and first played at age 14, then too scared to play again till age 19. Finally showed people my songs in my 20s. Music is a wonderful world, never alone there, music is company... Donna *) 07-07-15 03:08:48 _____________________________________________________

1210donna ::: Favorites And when she does, I hope she'll bring them to auties dot org (google - auties employment) and we'll try and help the world find those things. 07-08-01 17:59:27 _____________________________________________________
woodessence ::: Favorites Thanks for this song Donna, It certainly sets an awesome idea out~ If we would look at genetic behavioral differences as something the person with them did not cause. Humankind caused them, so they are for certain an absolute inclusive part of humankind. ...and so lets us all live fully ! Thanks for sharing all the personal photos of your life~ a nice story ! 07-08-17 20:19:23 _____________________________________________________
