RE: My Favorite Musician Paid Me a Visit -- but as the Ghost of Musical Greatness Past!

in Q Inspired-by-Music2 years ago (edited)

Herr Möll was always on top of his details -- his roles, his directors, all the rest -- so, OF COURSE, he would not fail in this production to recognize Q-Inspired! And, Ms. Kotcher taught me well also ... always give credit to those who allow you to do what you do!

In real life, the music and the life story of Herr Möll came to me at just the right time ... I love basso profundo, and that colossal voice, deep and dark and high and bright as a moonless midnight spangled with all the stars of the heavens of course got my attention. Then I noticed that smile EVERYWHERE, and him sometimes forgetting he was a big classical musician and getting carried away in his joy and then carrying EVERYBODY away ... that's how he got from around six-foot-two in real life to six-foot-forever-and-a-half ... you gotta be about that big to steal that many shows and audiences and hearts, and STILL carry them all off, even to this day!

Herr Möll's joyous singing carried me away from grief and depression, many, many times ... then I noticed that what people have chosen to post up on YouTube shows the consistent choices he made throughout his life of what music, what message, and what legacy he wished to leave. And, so many people who actually knew him have posted up their stories about him in the comments ... so much love there, not lost! But then, he did say that, in choosing to record the "Four Serious Songs" ... and when I discovered that, and listened to him joyously, tenderly explaining it all, THEN I understood who he was in his 79 years on this earth, and what he had been doing, all that time. I got the message, and, I do understand the assignment!
