This is the start of a new blog called THE MUSIC INSIDE, which is the title of an unpublished nonfiction book that I have recently completed. My intent is to share excerpts from the book and to get your feedback on this idea.
If this interests you, the premise of THE MUSIC INSIDE is to increase awareness of the soundtracks of our lives -- all of those melodies and lyrics that stay in our heads and help define who we are. Written mostly from my own true adventures around music, THE MUSIC INSIDE emerges from my rock n' roll/baby boomer perspective but includes surprising finds in jazz, bluegrass and world music. I share experiences with local musicians, attending concerts, discovering music through travels, movies, collecting and songwriting. Various musical quotes and facts, plus some of my own song lyrics are interjected throughout the book.
As we all reach into the past, connecting with new friends and others from different phases of our lives, THE MUSIC INSIDE is an ingredient not to be overlooked, Above all, I hope you'll find that this is a fun and unique read and -- like a personal photo album, it helps you to connect with people and places in recalling your own musical experiences.
More to come!
