mixing with likeminded souls

Hi everyone
I've just got back from a wonderful festival in southern NSW at a place called Gundagai. This is the 3rd year of the festival and it has a beautiful vibe. My support musician was a lovely gentle man called Nigel and we produced magic for our audiences over 2 and a half days. An exhausting weekend but amazingly uplifting.

And it occurred to me over the weekend as I was catching up and sharing with friends, that the connection we have in music is like nothing else. The warmth and generosity of experienced musicians towards young up-and-comers; the encouragement for those budding musicians who will never be great but are just happy to be part of it all and making music somehow; the sharing of news and ideas with fellow artists and performers; and much more, simply reinforces the ability of music to draw people together.

It's truly a universal language that crosses all barriers.

And I draw an analogy in part with the BraveHeart community. A community of welcoming, likeminded women who gently encourage each other to be the best they can be. Although our interests are diverse, we come together in the song of womanhood to support, nurture, share and simply be a part of this unique community.
