Music is something that has the ability to transform and to connect people all over the world. It is something that everyone can relate to in their own way and can helps other to better identify themselves and others. So why not keep the music going? I find that through music I have the ability to see things in a new light, which is important for communication and keeping an open mind.
This is why local music is so important. We need to try to keep the music alive by supporting local musicians and encourage them to share their stories with the world. By supporting local artists, we have the ability to encourage and to inspire the storytellers, songwriters, and creative minds that we to for entertainment. As an audience and a participant we have a bigger role than we realize. We are not simply observing, we are participating and interacting with the performance. Who knows, maybe some day the kid down the street practicing in his garage may be playing a sold out show at Madison Square Garden. Or we will hear our friend's song on the radio while driving to work. We will never find out unless we create a safe and welcoming place for musicians to share their stories with us.
