You don't have the wine yet.
Love comes
to the dedicated sipper
of silence."

Lawrence Ball Lawrence Ball is a composer and performer. He writes: Music is now moving into the possibility of neither ignoring nor over-emphasising the darker side of expression. We are aware enough of darkness in society through both the popular media and the arts. We now need to know how to break through it, ours and others, into a sane, responsible and expressive light.
