JOSH'S JOURNAL.
.
"DOES ANYONE KNOW THIS SONG?".
.
So tell me I'm not alone. :-). Who hasn't had the silly fantasy. Finally getting your chance. Maybe called on stage to save the day.
.
"Billy Joel's not going to be able to finish the set, so we're hoping someone from the audience can come up and sing Piano Man. Does anyone know that song?".
.
Silly of course. But admit it, when it's just you, 5:20pm traffic, and Adel. . . you KNOW you're ready for the spotlight. Maybe it's just me. ;-). I take that back. I've heard Kevin and Emily go to town on some Queen.
.
I say own it. Let your inner rockstar shine. ;-). And check this out. Here's a very cool thought. You may not have rockstar pipes but because of the mobile revolution, the daydream isn't really all that silly. PHOTOGRAPHY is now a live performance. Just like musicians at a concert, our favorite artists are now sharing live and they are enjoying people's response in real time.
.
And here's the most exciting part in my opinion. . . sometimes we ARE invited to play with the band. Everyday, here on Instagram, community leaders are directing a new collaborative piece and asking for our input.
.
Sometimes we're all joining in at once. Singing along with them as one and submitting to a gallery of thousands of images. And some time we get featured. We step up and sing a verse in their "Yellow" song. Or play the solo in their "Portrait" rhapsody. Our chance to shine. . . live and global.
.
We create to connect. I believe the desire to engage with each other is fundamental to art. Engagement is a two way street, so isn't the desire to participate a natural result. We want to know each other. To understand the artist but also to be understood. To be heard.
.
Exciting isn't it? :-). A whole new way of creating. A whole new way to connect.
.
Thanks to @smallmoves for adding this shot to our week's best "Concert" on Sunday. Definately rockstar material Ellie. ;-).
