I went to a house party last night to see this lovely band play. The house party was awkward and filled with smoke. The glasses were bigger, the pants tighter, and the flannel more carefully tailored than I've ever seen before. But the band was fun. And they got me thinking about scenes. Because I am privileged to live near a bar that has live music nightly with no cover (hooray!). But what would be better would be to have a community that was naturally musical. A community that held underground shows, parties or events that spotlighted musicians. A little more formal than the bluegrass jams we used to have in Maine; a little more respectful than a party. And I was thinking, my house would be a great place to host events like that.
If only I had a community to bring along with me. But the idea is a start.
