Go back in time, to the earliest of humanoid civilizations, and you find music. It's our heartbeat, an integral part of what makes us human, and is entwined with every aspect of humanity. A song can take us on a trip through time, tap into any emotion on the spectrum, make us laugh or cry . . . I don't think it is going anywhere soon. My 14 year old plays three instruments very well, my six year old sings Les Mis songs with me, and my nearly three year old clamors regularly for The Wobble. Sure, we might have to excuse that last one, as Lindsay is still really little, but the fact is that my kids LOVE music. And they love it in a house that is beset by all the modern trappings of the digital age. In fact, I type this in one room while my wife surfs her laptop in another and Ben is playing Xbox in the den. Even still, music is wrapped around our world. I don't think it is going anywhere soon.<br /><br />Now, if I may beg off here, I am going to pull up something on iTunes, blast it throughout the whole house, and finish my husbandly duties.<br /><br />To music.
