I admire many people for their talents. The opportunity to have worked with or shared a creative moment is a great inspiration
and moreso an appreciation for one's artistic contributions.
One of the great things about working in this field is being asked and being able to pen my thoughts on music as a freelance
writer. Here you'll find a link page to view some of my reviews on CDS for a web magazine. I have also been featured &
published on other websites as a writer on topics related to music.
My biggest challenge was writing an article on the passing of musical Legend Tito Puente. Writing ingeneral is one of
my favorite past times.

On topic of Music & Dance: Toronto Web.....
I strongly believe that all negatives can and should be turned into positive things. That, we as humans have be put on
this earth to seek the light and strive for enlightenment. It does not matter what religion we believe or what language
we speak because
God speaks to us in all languages; part of the goal of enlightenment and the importance of humanity is to transcend all
of that to reach an understanding,
to learn to live together and to pass as beings on this precious Earth.
Few things in life can guide us. Prayer, Meditation, Faith, Belief and I think Music.The beauty of all music to me is
the ethereal. It is capable of transcending language and culture.It unites people, although sometimes temporary, it channels
and opens the mind. The mind is programmed to think, understand and visualize and feel in terms of language. What of sound?
Some feel music through dance. Music & dance can be elevating at the same time humourous. All cultures has its music
and if used constructively language is irrelevant. Unfortunately, the message or lyrics have become an abstract issue based
on what freedoms do we have...
I think dancing, closely related, is like Life itself. Life is a dance. It allows us to express ourselves
unlike anything else. Take a step , make choices. Feel our way through it . Sometimes certain of how we move through
life, sometimes uncertain but always
moving back and forth through time and space.
It can be energizing or it can be exhausting depending on the moves we make. Somehow and hopefully, we learn to make the
right moves that make this constant motion work for us as we try to feel our way. Dance is a celebration of energy and of
life. It releases energy. We have to learn how to dance, to follow the rhythm that moves us and above all never use it as
means of control and power. So I say keep dancing and let yourself really feel and swing with the music it might keep us
in balance with life. Remember to have fun with it -DJB
