| Re: Grass Roots I, and it seems a number of folks, have been watching this thread develop. I've been reluctant to post since this thread is close the current path I am on. I really have no advice or ideas for the situation in Dartmouth or in California. But I wish those places the best of luck. Every community is so different and unique to it's demographic that although we can follow the examples of others that shouldn't be the end. We need to figure out how we can fit into the larger picture to make it better.
I got back from a lunch with an old teacher and we touched upon this topic. One thing that he said that struck me was we need to put the meaning back into music. People are looking for meaning in this world and it's really up to us to do it with our gifts, whether it be performing, educating or perhaps the most complete way is a combination of the two.
serving music,
Charlie
