Although I may not be the most gifted vocalist in the universe, that does not mean that I do not take away a profound understanding of the how gracious and beautiful music can be. There is nothing on this planet, no experience that can equate to the joy and elation of experiencing good music. Something about the way it reaches inside of you and inspires the words that your heart would say seems to make other things seem insignificant. Perhaps the greatest joy of music is when you have the opportunity to enjoy it with people you love.
Just recently, as in last night, I was privileged enough to experience one such occasion. In a college town that is host to the most debaucherous university on the planet (if you haven't guessed, I'm speaking of Lawrence, Kansas), I was lucky enough to hear a band called the Head and the Heart play a concert at the Granada Theatre. I jokingly poke fun at all of the unlucky people to call themselves students of the University of Kansas, but I seriously describe the joy with which my heart rejoiced at beautiful, meaningful, and amazing music.
On one hand, I hope that such occasions as last night present themselves to me often. On the other, I know that if such things were to happen frequently, the meaning and sincerity with which I regard them would become commonplace. No such beauty should ever be deemed as commonplace. Therefore, I eagerly await each opportunity with enthusiasm, knowing that I will have chances to experience things that others are unlucky enough to miss out on.
I must give sincere thanks to the following people: Austin Averill, Chase Castor, David Fiser, Yale Averill, Heidi Drechsler, and Kayli Holloway. Last night's experience was made much more enjoyable because of enjoying it with you all. Whether it be because of just being in the presence of such people, humor derived from words or actions, or just gosh darn pleasant and enjoyable conversation and assertive line cutting, you guys are amazing.
A Son of God,
Morgan McCoy
