History and You, February 5, 2013
This show is about trying to understand the effect of a melody and the influence of lyrics on our attitudes and behaviors in the way we live our lives. Music as an art form is also an expression of self-sacrifice. And whenever musicians use their craft, they make themselves vulnerable to their audience. But by performing their craft in the way they do, there stands the hope that their music will capture and overshadow any doubt the audience may have about their ability to reach you, and make you vulnerable instead.
Music has always told beautiful stories of life and people in swirls of pageantry and humility, which have never failed to touch the failing heart that longs to belong, to be loved, and to matter. And no matter where you find your life, there you will find the music to lift your life. No matter if it’s jazz, hard rock, samba, big band, or bubble gum songs, music become you, if only for a moment, lest we decide to forget our heart-felt songs. So tell me, what song do you sing? Come listen to the show and be enlightened.
History and You
Capturing the importance of the individual and how the past can put you in a position to make a difference in the present. History, as we have come to know it, is a collage of choices made, created, and driven by all of us. Our understanding of it only helps to measure how far and with what level of sophistication we can see the world and our individual place in it.
The individual, the everyday hero, who wakes up to work his day and returns home at the end of that work, is the focus of this show.
