live music

i’ve always loved live music.  the band has to be pretty terrible for me not to appreciate what they are doing on stage.  it takes so much courage to stand up there and sing or play guitar or whatever, that i try to give them the benefit of the doubt.  i went to an eric hutchinson show last night – and he was amazing.  there are some performers that do more than just sing and play, they perform for the crowd, they interact, it’s awesome.

people just want to be a part of something.

anyway, i was thinking back to all the concerts or coffee house type shows that i’ve been to over the years, and rarely do i not buy at least one item.  usually i’ll buy an EP or something, but if the show is awesome, i’ll try to spend a bit more money.  these bands are living the dream and i would love to be a small part of that – if they aren’t making money, they aren’t able to tour – especially in this age of music sharing.

i feel the same way about community.  if people aren’t making money – the small business owners, that is -  they won’t be doing it too long which is sad.

anyway, i don’t want to go there today.

i just want to say that you should check out eric hutchinson.  you should check him out live if you’re able, but if not – at least pick up one of his albums.  you can get them on his website.
