Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Whatever we face, whether it be joy, fear, sadness, anxiety or depression, music has a way of lifting us up and embracing life in a more positive manner. Music is an integral part of the Holy Bible, therefore make it a huge part of your life and make music unto the Lord. Have a blessed day today and always.

Music will take you away from whatever is going on, even if it's just for the duration of a song. I suppose that's why we so enjoyed the post-strike playlist that our B-52 co-pilot created and played over intercom during the Vietnam War. Couldn't play it prestrike, but I'm sure Charlie knew exactly where we came from after the bomb bay was empty.

Good Saturday morning Colonel.
