“The human voice is a most spiritual and mysterious force,” he began in that piece. “The first instrument of expression in the history of our species has always been the means of our deepest forms of communication, be it with each other, between a human and the Earth, or through a song, which is sung as a message to the gods. On a musical level, the power of a beautifully realized harmony and the strength that lies in the manipulation of our most natural and unique instrument is undeniable. Always moving, it is at times overwhelming.”
- The late Bryan Osper, quoted in this week’s North Coast Journal by Bob Doran. See also this tribute by Josephine Johnson.
