Track 1 - Intro

It would be difficult to find someone today who doesn't listen to music. Every culture, race, age group and economic class enjoys making, performing and experiencing music. It has been going on since the beginning of time and isn't showing any signs of slowing down. People are creatures of habit, however. Once they find a genre of music they like, they may not consider it a priority to find new kinds of music. 

Pre-information age, this wasn't too surprising, but most people have some kind of internet access and a device allowing them to listen to music. Even with all of that in mind, people still tend to stick to what they know and that means people are missing out on some fantastic music.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, many people dabble in as many different kinds of music. A common answer to the question "What music do you listen to?" is "a little bit of everything". This blog is for both groups and everyone in between. 

I will introduce readers to a genre of music they are unfamiliar with by having them listen to a song or watch a music video. From there, they will tell me what they think the song is about, how it made them feel, if the song has any artistic credibility, if they would re-listen, etc. I am fortunate enough to work with musicians and people in the music field, along with people who simply have strong opinions on the music of their choice. 

Followers of this blog will see interesting people experience music entirely foreign to them, and then share their seasoned opinions on what they just heard. Hopefully, readers will reflect on the music they listen to and the music they decidedly ignore from a fresh perspective and maybe even leave with a new band to look up. 

Please enjoy.
