Small Venues Shape Local Moosic Scenes??

More partially AI generated topic goodness??

Is that roof a bit slanted or is it just me? (or both)

Every person that is told to "support local" can't/ doesn't always.

That's a given. But do it as much as you can!

The best kinds of shows are the intimate ones. Of course everyone loves to see their favourite people running around on a stadium stage with flames flying and shit. But the best way to hear the music is at a smaller venue. There are tons of songs about it, (cue "There Will Always Be A Small Time" - Corin Raymond) and we truly need to keep these places alive.

Also, those big stadium bands have to start somewhere!

I know where I want to be. Sitting somewhere listening to good tunes. Favourably in closer proximity while not rupturing my old ear drums.

It is actually the best when you get to sit down to hear a good act and there aren't many stairs involved. That's what I want. We need local music scenes to do that. I guess I am a simple being?

Being the youngest one there is alright too.

It would be much harder and a fire hazard to pack too many people into a smaller venue. (cue example of the Great White show at The Station) So let's not do that.

Writing this blog made me think of something more specifically that I need to stress...

There are many great venues still alive but...
