Very Inspirational Video

[Galahad]

OK, the subject of the linked video is classical music - but really the point to it is a whole lot more. Very inspirational. Check it out if you have about 20 minutes. I think you won't be sorry.

bumping this - 'cause I think folks will find this very cool (really, nevermind that it's "about" classical music. It's really about more than that). I'd love to hear this guy speak in person!

I tried to listen last night but my computer wouldn't let me hear it all. He sounds like an interesting person to listen too. I'll try again later.

The youtube link works great! I'm going to listen to some of his other stuff later. I loved what I heard this morning. Thank you!

A very moving piece,

Yes! I haven't gone looking hard for the rest of his stuff but I need to.

I know the Boston Symphony but the Boston Philharmonic must be "the other Orchestra" in town (besides the Pops). Any here from Boston ever go hear them? He must be great on the podium!
