Music lessons

When cellist Yo-Yo Ma came to NBC last week, he brought his beloved cello "Petunia" with him and offered Brian a chance to play. You can listen to their lesson by clicking on the photo below:

Yo-Yo Ma is awesome. His music is soothing to the soul. I found myself relaxing during a newscast: a rare event in these negative times! I would love to see a special about Yo-Yo's Silk Road Saga.

MUSIC

Gives a voice to the words that cannot be
expressed.

Comforts the senses with much needed rest.

Restores the tender heart and makes it whole.

Descends from Heaven to earth and into
the soul.

Hi Brian -

Hope you've had a good holiday, I did because I finally got an IPod - and a friend loaded 913 songs onto it. So, I've spent the time listening to the music of our time - wonderful.

Also very happy to see Amy Robach filling in at times - she's very good and has worked hard since the early days at MSNBC.

Happy New Year
