It's been a while since I've posted. There is much catching up to do. Long hours at work have contributed to this and it's time to get the ball rolling. There have been great moments over the last month or so: Thanksgiving, my sister got engaged, New York City and Maine to visit dear friends, great food, a special anniversary, Hanukkah and more. I am going to make a conscious effort to keep the blog going, the ideas flowing and to maintain a creative outlet. Merely attempting to encapsulate two months in a post is not possible meaning I'll only rewind a couple weeks ago.
One of the biggest highlights was a concert. Live music hits my soul like lightning crashing. It's what I love. It brings happiness, accompanied by rhythm and melodies that make all problems fade resembling the lights. I attended Chad Stokes and Friends to benefit Chad's non-profit organization, Calling All Crows. This was the organization's third benefit show and I went to last year's show at The Center for Arts at the Armory in Somerville with a friend. The crux of the non-profit's mission is to mobilize musicians and fans to promote human rights. I have volunteered with CAC before and it's a powerful movement. This year's show was at the House of Blues in Boston and, as expected, was an intimate, acoustic setting. Many artists flocked to join Chad's campaign including Braddigan, formerly of Dispatch. It was the first year they made it a tour and hit the road to convey their collective message. It was extra special because I took my girlfriend, and she enjoys the same music I do. If I can accurately recall, it was my tenth time seeing Chad Stokes in some form, either by Dispatch, State Radio or solo. I highly recommend checking out Calling All Crows' site and seeing the overflow of kindness people demonstrate
