Music in Columbus, Inspiration or Fame?

Ask anyone that knows me, my belief in the future of Columbus, Georgia's music scene is strong. In this I've been inspired to pack-up my CD collection, guitars and 20" monitors, to leave the forever bohemiac undercurrent of ATL's Little Five Points (L5P) to a very special place and lend a hand.

INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE.
Now, three years and one month later, I feel evermore inspired to contribute to this greater cause. Things are really coming together. Resources are being defined, shared and promoted. Coalitions are formed. Songwriters are beginning to feel a foundation beneath them harden -- a firm foundation is the key to inspiration itself.

YOUR LOCAL MUSIC INDUSTRY.
Just as the local printer is your connection to "all things" printed. As your insurance agent is your authority to the "insurance world", to whom do we turn to locally for advice concerning music, music production, music licensing, music manufacturing, music promotion, talent aquisition and career development? Until now, nobody.

MUSIC IN COLUMBUS (MIC) IS BORN.
A core committee of business leaders, educators, and music lovers committed to organizing special projects to educate, network and promote the music that is happening. For those whom choose to engage in their own way by including the music element in their lives and livelihoods --they become an extension of this greater thing -- a city where people gather and wherever that maybe -- this musical element of harmony is represented.

Grandiose retrospective manifestos aside, I love that my family and I are living in a world full of music -- in Columbus, Georgia in particular.

p.s. Fame is for junkies.
