Why Music?

The first thing to go is music. Schools run short on money ...no that's not really my topic. There is no doubt that music stretches developing minds, but I am really interested in motivation. If you are a musician (beginning to professional), why do you play? If you are a listener, and who isn't really, why do you listen?  

There was a time that my main reason for playing music was to impress people in an attempt to elevate myself like the continuation of the type of self flattering speech I learned in my teen years. You know - where you say what you say to get people to think of you as larger than life.  No doubt this is not a great reason for musical pursuits, but this blog will be honest and not self-aggrandizing, except for my occasional use of big words to make you think I'm intelligent.   

So, why you play music or why to you listen? (Don't just write what you think people want to hear but be bold and dig deep).

I listen because it makes me feel good. It lifts my spirit in a very special way. I sing because I've been given the opportunity to hopefully create good things for God and people.
