My love and appreciation for music came through my father. He grew up in England during World War II. He often told me of how during times of intense stress, like when the ‘Doodle Bugs’ were ominously flying overhead to the terrifying wail of air raid sirens.
My dad and his family would take shelter under the dinner table. Their intense fear was kept at bay by telling stories and singing songs for hours and hours…until the dangers finally subsided.
In our current time of Covid-19 stress and the unknowns for the future, music is once again the thing that keeps us soothed and engaged and maybe just a little less fearful.
Whether learning how to play an instrument for the first time, honing your skills to that next level or just to listen…music will embrace us and keep us comforted.
This holds true during challenging times and joyful times…this holds true at all times.
So play on and stay strong!
Cheers, Tom
