Some Musicians Remind Me of Fancy Pigeons—part 7

          Some Christian musicians remind me of Doves.  Now doves are not Pigeons but they are from the bird family Columbidae with pigeons.  So, I am going to include them in this discussion of Pigeons anyway.  You see, one can do that sort of thing when you are the person who gets up in the mourning and types these Blog Posts.  Doves are sleek beautiful birds that are very shy and scare easily.  They are easily offended and easy to scare away if one shows any aggressive behavior toward them.  They make the most beautiful music when they make their musical cooing sounds.  The word dove is mentioned in the AV in Genesis 8:8.  The word dove is translated from the Hebrew word yownah (3123) and is translated both Dove and Pigeon in the AV.  However, there doesn’t seem to be a convincing argument that this word actually refers to a Pigeon.   In Genesis 15:9 the AV distinguishes between Turtle Doves and Young Pigeons by the use of different Hebrew words.  The words translated as Young Pigeons in the AV could be referring to a Young Doves.

          Be that as it may, some Christian musicians remind me of Doves and Turtle Doves because they are flighty like Doves.  I am not critical of these musicians because their reaction to the actions of other musicians is the result of their personality.  Those of us who work with musicians who are like Doves need to remember that these musicians are especially sensitive people.  Therefore, aggressive behavior toward them will cause a reaction on their part.  Some musician’s personalities tend toward “fight” and others tend toward “flight”.
