Back from New York City |
 Last week was a peak
experience week in my life. On April 3rd I went to a fantastic
concert in Carnegie Hall at which my youngest sister was the
conductor. She was poised, magnetic and totally in sync with her
orchestra. The orchestra followed her every baton stroke with a
sensitivity that is rarely seen in high school students. The
parents of these high school students were also obviously thrilled
with the performance and the way their young men and women conducted
themselves on stage and in New York at large. The orchestra
played
 Concertino #1 in G major, by Unico Wilhelm van Wassenaer,
Rumanian Folk Dances by Bela Bartok and Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas
Tallis.
Carnegie Hall was absolutely packed and my
81-year old mother and another sister were in a beautiful box on the
Grand Tier. I sat on the main floor right in the middle toward
the front and could see Cathie's beatific expression as she walked out
on the stage of Carnegie Hall, as serene and focused as I have ever
seen anyone. Brava to Cathie and bravo to the Norcross High
School Orchestra! |

Dr. Cash speaks at
Lutheran Medical Center |
 On Thursday April 5th, I was
invited to address the OB/GYN Grand Rounds at Lutheran Medical Center
in Brooklyn. My topic was "The Importance of Music with
Pregnancy, Preemies, and Newborns." The assembled audience of
nurses, doctors, and medical residents was eager to hear the research
I presented and especially the research on preemies and the powerful
assistance music provides, especially if the mother has already been
singing to the unborn baby. They were also largely unaware of
the development of a musical pacifier that plays 10 seconds of lullaby
when the preemie exerts the slightest
 pressure on the pacifier.
As a result of this musical reinforcement, the preemie sucks more and
develops his sucking muscles and therefore gains weight faster.
It was quite a fascinating set of studies by Jayne Standley of Florida
State University and I'm hoping that this hospital as well as others
will look into it.
