New Monday Morning Blog / Les Mis & The Power of Music

Hi Folks, Dave here!  I'm pleased to announce I'll be blogging every Monday morning!  Whether you're a musician interested in music industry news, an aspiring music producer looking for studio tips, or just someone who wants to hear some insights on what inspires me in making music every day, I think you'll find something to like about the Innovation Station Music blog.

This weekend I went to see Les Miserables on Broadway with my family.  It reminded me of the power of the song, and how the right lyric paired with the right music can change lives.  This musical has everything - love, greed, patience, justice, war, peace, faith, duty, passion, pride, sacrifice - it's incredible how they packed so much into just a few hours.

This may sound idealistic, but I wonder what would happen if we brought everyone in Ferguson, MO into a theater to see Les Mis right now.  Would anyone feel more hope and optimism?  Or love?  I continue to believe in the power of music to change the world for the better.  No matter how much our world seems to be falling apart, music can put us back together.

'Til next week!
