Hi I’m Jason and I love music.
If that statement sounds like the introduction to a self help meeting – it’s supposed to. Music has a hold on me and we all know the first step in any self-help program is to admit that you have a problem. I try to make my own music from time to time by singing, playing the piano, playing the guitar, humming, and whistling. I don’t consider myself any great talent and so I spend the majority of my “music appreciation” time appreciating other musicians.
I listen to many genres of music and I get a rush from finding new artists to add to my collection. I think I get the most enjoyment from sharing music with others, especially if I can share a song they haven’t heard before. Some of you may be thinking “this guy just wants people to think he is cool.” Yeah that’s true – who doesn’t want to be well thought of by their friends. However, I’d also like to think a more noble part of me just wants to bring a little more happiness into the lives of others, and from my core, I absolutely believe good music does that.
So, all of that being said, I am starting a music blog to share music that moves me in the hopes it moves you. I especially hope I can raise awareness for musicians that are making great music that doesn’t fit into the MTV and Top 40 playlists. I feel artists outside of the so-called music machine are some of the best but least known musicians out there. In my view, it would be a shame to have great musicians stop making music because people just don’t know they are out there.
Enjoy the music!
