Stop what you are doing for a second and just listen....... what do you hear? i hear a fan blowing, cake “he’s going the distance” in the front of the store, i can even hear the American flag that is waving outside my window (and if i listen closely i can hear Lee Greenwod singing “and im proud to be an American!!”) It is truly amazing to discover what we can hear on our instrument if we just take a few minutes to listen to what we are doing.
