Usually we end up either left or right- brained with the accompanying talents (and lack thereof) that are associated with being so. But now and then people are born with both sides super-active and they have the best of both worlds. This is the case with my nephew-in-law, Kevin Willette. He is a computer programmer-guru by day and by all other times an incredible musician/composer/singer. Here are a couple of tunes the band he is currently affiliated with play. While listening to "Ounce for the Bounce" I visualized a babbling brook bouncing over rocks as it cascades down a mountainside. On "Trike Trek" the idea of kayaking through class 2+ whitewater came to mind! If you are the type that likes to pair music with your outdoor activity try a little of One with Everything - you won't be disappointed!
