I've never really understood homes that are usually silent. Growing up, there was almost always music playing in the background, and as an adult, I've pretty much kept the same protocol.
Music can be a source of motivation or calm. It can reflect my mood, or alter it. In many ways, it's my muse.
Tonight was the opening night of the Railroad Revival Tour -- six cities, three live acts, outdoor venues. The final song of the night, "This Train is Bound for Glory," was performed as a ensemble jam with all three bands. It was, hands down, the most amazing live performance I've ever seen.
