Music is not merely entertainment; it has powerful healing modalities.
It can transform teams and tribes. It can integrate the person.
Music enriches meditation, helps with depression, and aids motivation. Used correctly, it can heal the soul.
A collection of favorite songs often plays a miraculous role in Alzheimer’s patients and can provide a bridge with their memory loss caretakers.
Music can even pave the path to social justice.
Music can lead to grace. Find out how…
This episode is a bit of role reversal
Bill Protzmann is normally the moderator of each episode of Gracearchy with Jim Babka.
But today, he’s the featured guest! I’m interviewing Bill because he’s the proprietor of Musimorphic.com.
Bill is, first and foremost, a musician. And you’ll get to see him play both Rachmaninoff and Ragtime in this episode.
But he’s also learned the power of music. Through Musimorphic he can help people enjoy all the benefits described above and more!
In this episode, Bill explains how “we musicians are master manipulators,” and he also…
- Introduces you to new musicians (some are in the show notes).
- Explains where politics is off-limits, why your mother would still want you to talk about music – better yet, listen to music together.
- Covers how music can both prepare you for and assist you with meditation.
Indeed, you’ll begin to learn how you can access all the blessing music can provide in this joyful and instructive episode.
Every episode is also on these podcasting platforms: Pandora * iHeart * Google Podcasts * Spotify

P.S. Our previous episode is both timeless and timely: Inflation Is Worse Than YOU Ever Thought. It’s also short – ten info-packed minutes on what inflation is doing to you, your family, and your friends. Then, ten great minutes on the wasted vote. The entire episode is just a bit longer than most commutes. Schedule it if you must. But don’t miss it!
Gracearchy is hosted by Zero Aggression Project’s co-founder, Jim Babka, but the views expressed in the show are not necessarily those of the board, staff, or supporters of the Zero Aggression Project (Downsize DC Foundation).
Oh My! Did you hit a harmonious note here! One Atheist, with a twinkle in his eye, said to Justin Brierly on his show -Unthinkable? “When I listen to Bach – I am a Christian!” On a personal note, when my son was in the NICU, there was a song called, ” He’s My Son” (this song is as mellow as can be) that the local Christian Station played -Every time I heard that song – I thought about my little guy – He’s turning 17 in November, and I am so thankful for him. On the other hand, one of my father’s favorite bands Petra – (No I’m not kidding- in his 70’s he still enjoyed them!) has a song called ‘It Is Finished’ that may not be hard rock as some see it -but it is pretty driving -That song is my go to when I’m just angry about anything. There are another group of songs that just ‘tell it as it is’ to me, that allow me to express it as it is, and then connect it to the hope of what is to come. The thing is – the parodies done by Remy@Reason, Apologetix, and AccapellaScience are three of my favorites. But hymns strike the note the other types don’t – primarily because we used to sing them around the piano.
