Music maestro!
Music is my muse, right now it’s on the TV Utube channel starting with PFC (Playing For Change) featuring artists from all over the world making delightful, interesting and inspiring music, playing WISH YOU WERE HERE and a bit ago THE WEIGHT featuring Robbie Robertson or EVERLASTING ARMS with Dr John on piano an vocals and now SKIN DEEP that started with the Chicago legend Buddy Guy and more artists from all around the world. The goal is to promote Peace through Music. When watching one sees all types of musical instruments and the musicians playing them some of which I have never seen including the didgeridoo and some as simple as conga drums. My music runs the repertoire from simple folk to jazz and soft rock which fits in my liking of almost any music from any period or genre. The song now is RIPPLE by Jerry Garcia with artists; Jimmy Buffet, David Crosby and Bill Kruetzmann a drummer from the Grateful Dead. The producers also will draw attention to social or political issues such as I STILL HAVE’NT FOUND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR or BIKO, one of my favorites with Peter Gabriel which I find haunting with amazing instrumentation and videos. More later on my relationship with music later.
The other feature of the PFC videos is that they are shot outside in locals around the globe which gives one a peek at some interesting, unusual places in our world. It is also wonderful to see both Dr. John and Robbie Robertson both of whom are now no longer with us.
Music is more than just melody and rhythm; it's a bridge connecting the world and transcending cultures. The Playing For Change project you mentioned perfectly embodies this: artists from different countries and styles come together to convey peace and hope through music. This power is truly moving. Buddy Guy, Dr. John, Jerry Garcia, Peter Gabriel... these names themselves are like a musical treasure trove, and your appreciation for everything from folk to jazz, soft rock, and even exotic instrumental performances demonstrates your broad musical perspective and sensitivity. I often enjoy fresh music like this.
