Dr. Kaplan's Study; Lake of the Ozarks music

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Thanks for all the comments of my entry about the Kaplan study. They

were informative to me.

Reading about the minister who tried to discourage the party on the

water reminds me of a story I read a few years back. There was a

convenience store owner whose parking lot was used every night as a

gathering place for a group of local teenage tougns. This was hurting

his business. He tried every means he could think of to discourage

them from hanging out on his premises, all to no avail. Finally he

came up with a solution that worked. He had classical music piped to

speakers in the parking lot. The toughs could take anything but that!

They were gone the next night.

Music is one of the ways that I try to cope with the stress of this

disease. I enjoy listening to music and play a few musical

instruments which I find greatly relaxes me. I think music has the

ability to help healing.
