By the way, if I am not a "premium" or "founding" member, or whatever you need in the upmost from an individual followers to keep this substack going, please let me know . . . you bring me sustenance.
God, Maurice, I love your interviews! You and Dante speaking here are so life affirming. That you two talk about the wonder-filled, power-filled music that is gospel was great to hear. I myself do not write to music (I sink into it,) but regularly listening to music keeps me emotionally centered and believing in joy and truth, for myself and the world. I definitely exercise to music, in part because I have to dance. However, I was just this morning thinking of trying writing to music this evening at a concert I will be attending on my own – my partner is out of town working – planning on bringing a notebook rather than a bottle of wine and laying on my stomach on a blanket on the lawn outside an Ozawa Hall and responding on the page to wherever the music takes me. I find it fascinating that you and Dante can write/read to music . . . I also especially loved reading and hearing Dante describe Richter’s piece, then the shift to his honoring human spirituality and further reaching out, and back, to lead others through his work. Kudos on another wonderful interview!
Hi Maurice. Thanks for bringing Dante’s wisdom to us this morning. He is an inspiration and a treasure. Also, I can’t find the app in the Apple App Store. Searching for “Sitting in Silence” brings up no results. Any clues as to how to find it?

That's kind of you to say. I appreciate your presence, Wendy, and it's good to talk to you here. Contribute in any way you feel comfortable.

Thank you so much for reading, Wendy! Music can be so helpful. But sometimes quiet is great too. Just try and see what works for you.

Hmm. Try searching my name?
Hah! Never mind. It's the Substack app, which I already have. Then SiS is on there along with other subscriptions. Thanks!
Awesome!
