The Influence Of Live Music On Local Culture

Sometimes it feels like I'm writing topics for school essays or something.

Live music brings people together, that's one of the things that's so great about it. Everyone in that crowd can agree on something. They all like that band. I suppose there's always the exception of some people that are forced to be there, or that are just there to get drunk. But you know what I mean. Mostly everyone is there for the same reason. The music itself definitely doesn't discriminate and the crowd probably doesn't either. What a conversation starter, you don't even have to ask what kind of music they like, you know one bit for sure. What a bond that creates.

I know how much that live music or any form of music does for me, and so these post-concert blogs are my way of trying to give back. If I can put somebody on to a new artist or just give praise to one, I consider that a job well done. Hopefully I can help out the local scene, and you've gotta start somewhere.

I buy or check-out from the local library just about any and every book about a musician, by a musician, etc. I do this from pure fascination and to study what it is that makes a musician tick. Of course these books give me ideas for my blogs and help my understanding.

The atmosphere of live music is unmatched and it's a feeling I seek often.
