You know spaw, the longer I'm alive and participating in the world of music, the more I'm blown away by the high levels of talent and committment of musicians all around us. Every town in the world has their own special players who keep the joy of music alive. I tend to think that these musicians are most responsible for sowing the seeds of musical passion and interest among the masses. Although most players never become revered "names", sought after by the various press, they are truely the foundation of the contuing evolution of song. Community level musicians are a magnificent natural resorce. I think also, that there is much more freedom of expression and comradity at the community level. I have always loved being close to the people...something that becomes almost impossible on a "national star" level. Here's to the ordinary musicians....the true keepers of the dream...! And in afterthought, here's a toast also to the national level musicians and artists (like Arlo) who continue to make themselves available to us "ordinary" players... taking notice of our efforts and encourage us to keep on keeping on!
