		<description>Hi Tom,

Oh, I was just giving you a hard time.  ;-)  Thanks for a sincere and affirming response.  :-)

I do wish if liking the creator equals liking their creation, but I have long accepted that it's not true.  That said, like you said, it does help to know and like the creator.  The two aren't completely unrelated.

		<description>Ari - it's good that your music inspired me to faster typing. It was the part of the song that really stepped it up that did it. As I have truthfully shared with you before. I can honestly support you as a man and entrepreneur without necessarily loving your music. Yet I heard something different in that song that I responded to. Growing up I was never a metal fan but I found it interesting to watch parts of the top 100 heavy metal songs on VH1. I think it was because of the story connected to them. That's also why I support and follow you. You're authoring you're own story as authentically as you can and that's inspiring.

		<description>Hey Melinda,

Oh, the pleasure was all mine.  I do think what you have to share is very important, and you do it so well, so courageously. 

Oh, and I did know about your being a musician!  Still listen to some punk rock?  ;-)  I've always been a goody-two-shoes with closet dream of being a punk, but musically I've always been more of a metalhead than punk.  In fact, I'm surprised how I'm getting into heavier stuff the older I get.  Here I thought getting older was about growing mellower.  ;-)

But then, I sing in a church choir, too. ;-)  Really, inside my head is a huge bag of diverse music.  I've been trying to figure out how to unbag them all.  :-)  I've got a good start.

		<description>Hi Laurie,

Thanks.  It's just an idea I'm mulling over, but I'll let you know when I'm ready to make an announcement.

		<description>Hi Tom,

Thank you for your little experiment.  I got to meet some new bloggers, and it gave me a lot of food for thought.  

The bit about my community is just a teaser.  I'm mulling over some ideas and will make a bigger announcement about it in the near future. 

And... is it good or bad that my music made you type faster?  What I was hoping for was that you couldn't help but listen to it and it made you stop typing.... ;-)

		<description>Hi Ari,

Thank you so much for the mention and for also passing along those sites you mentioned in your post--if you recommend them, I will certainly check them out!  I also have to say that I love your music!  I don't know if you knew this--but I am also a musician; I have played the guitar since I was about ten years old.

Thanks again, Ari--I really appreciate your kind words.

Melinda

		<description>Ari, Thanks for the link to our community leveraging experiment. I always like hearing about these efforts. Put me on the list to get more info for your intimate group. I'll listen to what you have in mind. 

I think it's a brilliant move to post your music on your blog. I listened to it while posting my comment and I think it made me type faster. :)
