A Brief Editorial on Anesthesia |
If you've heard a lot about the powerful
anesthesia Propofol lately, it's because the coroners in L.A. have now
decided definitively that it is the substance that killed Michael
Jackson. Now let me hasten to add that used properly, it is a
wonderful anesthesia, but it must be administered in a hospital or
surgery center by an anesthesiologist. As I said last month,
anesthesia is a wonderful, important and necessary medication but it
is so powerful that if it is not administered by a professional, it
can be deadly...like many other drugs. The whole point of using
music through headphones during surgery is to
decrease the amount of medications you need before, during, and after
surgery, by keeping the body relaxed and stabilized through the power
of entrainment. Read about these headphones now at

More new on the Surgery Headphones |
Just today I heard from one of the anesthesiologist that I've been
working with at the University of Louisville School of Music and was
he enthusiastic! They've been using them now for a little over a
month and are getting exciting results. I'll be able to release
the findings soon but suffice it to say that they are getting very
positive results with general as well as regional anesthesia. We
are hoping to get them into every hospital in this area by the end of
the year and then will begin to expand nationwide. My long-term goal
is to get the headphones into every hospital but for
now, I will sell them to individual patients for $147.97 or to groups
or organizations at a bulk discount. I'm talking to a couple of
big churches right now about buying them for their member care
programs or their Healing Music Libraries. Think about whether
or not this would be right for you or an organization you belong to.

What's
the latest on Wanda Landowska? |
You may remember that last month I went to Washington,
D.C. to do research at the Library of Congress. The occasion was
the sudden availability of archival information on the life and career
of Wanda Landowska, the world-famous harpsichordist and the woman who
revived the harpsichord from obscurity during the first decade of the
20th century. I've been a huge fan of Landowska for over forty
years and actually wrote my doctoral dissertation on her musical
journey and her travails through two world wars and starting over from
scratch on three separate occasions in different countries.
Landowska died in Lakeville, CT in 1959 after recording J.S. Bach's
greatest keyboard works and all of the major harpsichord repertoire.
I've been contacted by people and organization in
Lakeville, Berlin, and Warsaw, Poland about giving some Landowksa
presentations in memory of the 50th anniversary of her death. I
would love to do this but am looking for an angel to fund part or all
of each presentation. If you're interested in helping with this,
let me know asap so that I can give you more information.
