Better Future; Shared Responsibility; Broad Responsibility; Personal Freedom

I’m really excited to start my new summer job this year. I’m working at a local music store as a novice repair tech/general lackey. I absolutely love tinkering around with the instruments. Figuring out what’s wrong with the instruments and how to fix it is like working on an intricate jigsaw puzzle. Each instrument is slightly different, each problem presents a new challenge. I’m in awe of the master repair tech there. Have you ever seen someone bring a flute back to life that had been run over by a school bus? Its awesome.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the biggest fan of folk music, I’m not a supporter of communism, and I don’t own a single piece of tie-dyed clothing. So what does a folk music festival have to offer that keeps me coming back? Progressive thought.
