Music in the United States is a complex code of secrets that tells a different story then the one found in history books or reported in the media of the time. Our time, the news media looks for the easiest way to excite and agitate people. Have them take sides, report and follow the protest of fringe groups with backward thinking ideas.  Ignorance on display for what purpose I wonder.

You can get a better handle on the truth through the arts I believe.  Music brings people together. Not just because we can all sing, dance have a good time etc.  There is a message in music for us, it contains the best history lesson you can find.

Something to do if it has not been your thing to do, go to  “Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival” Oct 1-3rd in San Francisco and learn more about this country.
