I was playing the five videos I had unknowingly uploaded onto my ipod. They are of Yo-Yo Ma recording holiday songs with other artists. As I watched two videos in particular, I was so moved by the greatness of the musicians. It got me thinking...who or what do I think is just great? I mean, stand-out, gotta admire, can't deny their contribution despite politics, personal preferences or otherwise. But just pretty great.
My incomplete list will begin with Mr. Ma:
Yo-Yo Ma
James Taylor
Ayn Rand
Tiger Woods
Tim Russert
The Dictionary
Buddha
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Ken Burns
Eleanor Roosevelt
Albert Einstein
Cribbage
Ella Fitzgerald
Miles Davis
Frederic Chopin
Confucius
Meditation
Mother Teresa
Frances Perkins
Johann Sebastian Bach
Oscar Wilde
Albert Einstein
Maps
Dreaming in another language
Being in touch with my godmother
Dalai Lama
Blue Moon
Laughter of a Child
Heat
Check it out. Let your mind wander while you create your list and feel the inspiration. It's pretty cool.
