Music and Entertainment

So recently I've been thinking a lot about live music and doing what it is that we music people do. I love music and got into it because I had a passion for it but I also started playing guitar and instruments out of boredom and loneliness. I was 12 when I picked up the guitar for the first time. I remember playing Alan Jackson and Randy Travis when I started. Playing one part of a song over and over and over till I nailed it and it was committed to memory. While I was just looking for something to, do I didn't really have a reason for wanting to play but I really enjoyed it. After years (lots of years) of playing and practicing both behind the scenes and in front of people I've really started to look at it differently. Now it's about entertainment as much as music. It's about getting people involved and bringing them together and making fun in the moment. 

I can remember going to shows and watch amazing artists and musicians. The ones that really excite me are the ones who have something to share between songs. The ones who have something to say about their travels or life. To be able to recite your album or song perfectly takes a lot of practice and I do truly appreciate that but the shows that really stick in my mind are the ones where the artist or band had something fun funny or interesting to share  in-between songs. That being said if I see you at a show of mine I'll be thinking of something fun to talk about or some way to get everyone to gel together and have a blast as a group. The people watching a show are 100% as important to the show as the person or people on the stages. Thanks for reading see y'all soon - Kris
