Today is St. Cecilia's Day, the day for the patron saint of Music (and of the blind). As a "radical atheist", I won't be lighting any candles, or praying any prayers or any of that... I'll just remember that music is a powerful enough force to be considered magical. And I'll wear my glasses.
Ironically, I spent all day yesterday singing, and today my throat lies fallow while I sit at work.
Also interesting to note that my friend with a brain hardwired to learn about, listen to, and engage in music making was born on this day. Adam Cioffari, are you reading this? Maybe you're St. Cecilia reincarnate! On the other hand, you can see pretty well, so maybe not. Maybe you just have a mind like a Grove Music Encyclopedia.
