"I thought you were going to grow wings..."

Last night I watched a lovely and inspiring documentary called Alive Inside. Everyone with access to Netflix should take the time to watch this film. It demonstrates the power of music, the tremendous determination of one man, and the triumph of the human spirit.

Here's the trailer:
It's not terribly long - a little over an hour - and if you are not moved by it, well, I don't know what's wrong with you.

Musicians of all stripes, myself included, question the importance and validity of our work. Society frequently sends us messages that our pursuits are selfish, provide no value, or are generally unwanted. This film refutes that. Music matters. Music is about the heart and soul of humanity. Music makes us who we are.
