Music...

Moses is more likely to have had a drum as opposed to a hammond organ. This is just a matter of historical record. The law is juxtaposed historically with drums. But, when using drums to communicate, the message is one of the soul. The heart is truly the drum. Bonhoffer, German theologian, says that "where the heart is not singing there is no melody, there is only the dreadful medley of human self-praise. Where the singing is not to the Lord, it is singing to the honor of the self or the music, and the new song becomes a song to idols."-from the book "Life Together". This is just a matter of musicology and further review in this area will follow with a documentary about Samba from Brazil in the documentary series this week. Click the link below to see a combination of drums, organs and lyrics with meaningful purpose. Now the question is what does music have to do with the character that speaks of friendship that sticks closer than a brother. Moses had a drum or at least he wrote rules that obligated him to respect the drums owned by his friends, brothers and neighbours. targehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YrUrZQg-4Q
