".....and somebody points to you and says 'its his'. And you say "what's mine?" and somebody else says "Where what is?  the answer of course is music..... "I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours: it is a gift of God. I place it next to theology. Satan hates music: he knows how it drives the evil spirit out of us."   Martin Luther
