Review:

Through this magical collection of inspirational quotes, former Grateful Dead member Mickey Hart and ethnomusicologist Fredric Lieberman explore what it is about music that gives it the power to heal, or simply to transform an everyday moment into something of spiritual importance in Spirit Into Sound: The Magic of Music. Over 200 VIPs, such as Albert Schweitzer, Billy Joel, Janis Joplin, Woody Guthrie and Joan Baez contribute to four different subject areas: "Music and Musicians", "Music and Society", "Music and Spirit" and "Music and the Cosmos". The oversized print makes this an easy read, and the artsy layout makes it a great gift for music lovers. Nietzsche once said, "Without music, life would be a mistake--I would only believe in a god who knew how to dance". --P Randall Cohan
