It's sad that so many people miss out on the joy of making their own noise.

| Save the MUSIC |
It's come to my attention more than I want to admit. "Making" music
has become unimportant for the masses. Children are no longer "required"
to learn music in school. People don't support the local musicians
around them. And musicians are reluctant to share their talents with
the people who want to listen. My grandmother often told me, "Never give up your music." I fully appreciate that advice when I hear so many
people say "they use to play..." and I wonder why they stopped. I hope the open mic where I participate grows into a large weekly gathering of people making music.
I also struggle a little with trying to teach the basics I learned in grade school to the neighbor kids. I don't know what else I can do beyond teaching guitar lessons and encouraging people to play at the open mic.
