Change--its in the air

Change, people, it's in the air :)

     Its that wonderful time of year again when the leaves begin changing, crispness in the evening air, and fire pits with friends surrounding it having a good time. With that brings change in the music/musik scene. We all love to hear what our favorite band is up to, when they are going to be putting out new releases or if they are taking a hiatus from touring. What is even grander is when a local band gets to make their first EP for their followers and newcomers with their own originals, or when a single musician also kicks it up a notch by providing a new take on a favorite tune by many...and can do it just as great.

     So lets hit the days running and the nights walking. Enjoying what the musik can do for our bodies. Tell me you know to what I'm referring?! We all have musik that we listen to to get us through the work day and the musik we blast after off work...the "me" time. Then comes the weekend, for many not all, when its party "rock on" time! Relaxation time. Whether it be by the fire pits, at a concert or gig, on a road trip to a destination of your choosing, or even at home. Musik is portable, which is one of the awesome things about it. The second greatest thing about your tunes is the benefits it provides. Its a huge stress reliever, allows you to relax, express yourself whether your angry or ecstatic and everything in between. It gives you the ability to find your happy spot ;) that absolutely NO ONE can take from you!

     Musik is ever-evolving, just like our everyday lives. New bands come just like new days and our ever favorite bands stand the test of time. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to change that for anything. Musik allows me to thrive through the most difficult times I may be having to the highest points in my life. I welcome new musik! Do you? If you can't honestly say that you have tried to expand your horizons past the comfort zone, it may be time to take in a band or musician that you may not think you like. You never know you might be surprised! I have albums (yes the vinyl records), cassettes, mp3 player, cd's, and my computer filled with sounds from the Big Band era to the modern aka alternative rock musik and everything in between. Of course, it helped that that's what my parents instilled in me -- to listen to all sorts of musik to find my niche. Then naturally I passed it on to my daughters who in turn turned me onto some other types of tunes I may not have listened to previously. You know what....I really like it and the great thing about it is between me and my daughters we were able to share something new with one another!!

     Embrace your days and fill your nights with your selection of tunes, friends, and loved ones because time is flying by fast folks. Crank your musik and as Shirley & Lee, Jimi Hendrix, The Cars, Molly Hatchet and many, many more said once "Let the good times roll"! Open up your hearts and minds to new things, yes, including musik...and feel good about yourselves, dance, get your groove on. Live, love, spread happiness and joy through musik....you'll feel better ;) . And as always fellow jammers support your local musicians and bands because the love of musik is deep in their veins and hearts too!
