Greetings from The Music Bowl! I'm the Wonderfish!
Humans love music, don't they? There is just so much to examine within this field based on that fact alone. Music is something we are universally connected to, no matter where we are from or when we are from. One of the joys in my life is seeing people of all ages as they are moved by music, be it at a sold out arena rock and roll show surrounded by 40,000 other people or in a park filled with families watching a local folk band. One thing I know for sure, music is magic.
Last week, I introduced a little information about the people involved in this project. Today, I'd like to explain a bit more about what we hope to accomplish. On most Thursdays, I'll try to discuss music topics and questions ranging from historical perspectives to the modern industry, from the first song to today's pop, from Bach to the Grateful Dead. We want to examine all of these topics and more! I will also post about music in the movies, instruments, influential and innovative artists, the recording industry, books about music, hit songs, and songwriting.
Music is something that comes naturally to us, yet most of us know so little about its origins. We can identify our favorite songs, but why do we really love those songs so much? Some people are die hard fans of their favorite band and will save up their money in order to spend months at a time following that band around on tour. Others have never been to a concert at all, nor will they ever attend one. We all experience music as a cultural tradition to some extent. However, music is an incredibly personal pursuit for each of us as well.
We here at The Music Bowl are fascinated by music and all of its connections, so much so that we can't stop searching for answers. Are we the only ones searching? We think not, and we want to share this adventure with you. Shark's in the water! See you next week!
