My Work (lyrics written)

A Million Closets
By Rich Baumann 1/05/07

Silent music
Trapped in a million closets
Waiting to be Heard
Instruments alone
Waiting…
Waiting for hands to touch
Waiting hearts to warm

Longing hands
Waiting
Things lost
Music silenced

Silent music
Trapped in a million souls
Waiting to touch
Lonely Hands
Waiting to touch
Sore Hearts
Lonely Hands
Wanting most
To share in the healing Music

June 2007 MADISON, WI ---- Restoring music to hurricane ravaged areas of the Gulf Coast has been an ongoing project for Madison musician Rich Baumann. He just completed his second trip to Louisiana and Mississippi with instruments donated by Wisconsin residents. The instruments go to schools and individuals who lost their instruments in Hurricane Katrina.

Korinthia Klein, violin maker and violist donated an instrument valued at $8000 was presented to student Jeffrey Wilson through the Steve Spring Foundation of New Orleans.

"On this trip I carried two cellos, five guitars, three trumpets, a trombone, a French horn, a clarinet, a flute, a banjo and an auto harp, in my 2002 Prius. I left a couple fiddles and dulcimers behind because I thought it would be prudent to be able to see out of the car!"

Today's horoscope for Leo: You have a great insight into major events going on right now, and a lot of people would love to know what you know! Sitting in the catbird's seat gives you a great feeling, and you are finally coming to a place where you can truly value your position in life. Resist the temptation to lord your power over other people who are at disadvantage -- you don't want to burn any bridges. Keep your cool and play this out more conservatively than you probably want to. Looks like a 4 wheatberry day for you dear Leo.
