Live Music is Alive

Over the past few days, I have performed in front of over a thousand people at many different types of venues. A performing arts center, a music school, and a church are among the places I looked out and saw the faces of people for whom hearing music performed live was incredibly meaningful. If I ever had any doubt, I have been reminded that hearing live music is irreplaceable. It feeds the soul of listener and performer. To witness the fruit of so much hard work and soulful enterprise is uplifting. One listener with tears in her eyes said, "I got so much enjoyment out of your show tonight. I don't get enjoyment out of much these days." When we go to hear music, it tunes our molecules like little else can. Live music is alive and well.
