Although I'm not really a classical fan Gorecki's Sympony no 3 always moves me... even before I realised what it was actually about. <br />A war story about Japan I hadn't read about until now.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-50623823332960970472014-08-11T21:07:00.480-04:002014-08-11T21:07:00.480-04:00We have so few stories of inspiring stories these ...We have so few stories of inspiring stories these days that when I see one , I always want to share it.Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-9517328208354548732014-08-11T20:28:21.340-04:002014-08-11T20:28:21.340-04:00I love your stories of big-hearted people.

The piano playing was done as if she had no idea the men were listening to her, since she could not acknowledge them in any way, but THEY knew she was playing for them and that must of been such a joy to both the men and to her.Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-40065660656710494342014-08-11T07:14:10.022-04:002014-08-11T07:14:10.022-04:00You're welcome!

A lesson perhaps for us all. It is only when we give up hating people that the world will change for the better. Our governments wage war and the people die, all most want to do is to raise their family and love their land and that is how my dad saw it. He said war was the problem not the people and he taught me to look at a mans heart not his colour, nationality or religion. I have tried to do that. Thank you for sharing his story here.......hugs JaniceJanice Kay Schaubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01218296462551967972noreply@blogger.com
