I believe that when you find yourself connecting to something outside of yourself, you will never have trouble finding yourself and your place in the world. That is why it is so important to explore. There have been many documentaries about music which provide information. However, the new series American Epic from PBS really takes you places. "Out of the Many, the One" is yet another of the great episodes in which they explore the roots of music. If you are looking to broaden the depth of your personal experience, I cannot tell you enough to go watch these types of documentaries. This particular episode is loaded with historical origin and cultural stories and connection with modern music. If you love music and want to better understand music, You will enjoy this!!! I will also leave you with a link to Discography of American Historical Recordings. With this site you can explore specific dates and recordings that were captured on that day. So Fascinating Right!!! The link is connected to May 10, 1919 which includes recordings of Joseph Kekuku, the inventor of the slide guitar and the Hawaiian guitar sound. Enjoy your travels through the musical timeline!!! I highly encourage you to share this information with others if you like.
