“Are you being served?”

Well, I never thought I would write a blog, but here I am! I am delighted to share these with you, and will make every effort to do so each weeek. Here is my first thought.

Musicians often toss about the concept that we should “serve the song.” Recently I was asked “What does the phrase ‘Serve the song’ mean to a you as musician?”

I much prefer “serve the music” or “honor the music.” It’s about more than those few minutes of a tune.

For me, bringing melody, harmony and rhythm into the world is a kind of birthing process. Our band takes great care in preparation cfor each performance, and we may never know how lives will be touched. But we know they WILL be touched.

It is an honor and a blessing to serve the msuic - and you! - in that way.
