Don't make that call

I was in the car racing to another appointment and started to do what we ALL do. Make that call. Get that NEXT appointment set up. Return that voicemail call. Try to open another door and make another connection.

Ahhh there is the magic word. Connection. We have to connect or we cannot get our dreams done right?

I mean if we don't connect with people we can't help them and they of course cannot help us. We simply have to reach out and connect. That's why mobile phones are the world changing phenomena they are. They give us 24/7 anytime ability to connect.

But the connection I needed most was in a place deep in my soul that only music could reach. I mean I am a guy who calls home so much when traveling even my wife says "talk to you TOMORROW right?". But I NEEDED to hear a song. A certain song and there the connection technology saved me again.

So instead of using the phone to place a call, I dialed up a track that my brain had been itching to hear and been echoing through my heart. I cannot tell you how much of a connection there was when the track flowed out of the speakers.

I turned it up. Louder and louder till the crack of the drums and the whispers of the vocals pushed me and pulled me along to a place I needed to go so badly. Its probably very weird to be so moved by a song in traffic that you begin to tear up. I'm not talking about a sad love song, I am talking about a bombastic rocker song that just hit me and moved me. Ok. Call me insane. I don't care. This is what I live for.

I need these musical connections. We all do. If you love music, make music, listen to music, promote or sell music. Put down the phone and turn up the tunes. You'll be better for it. Even if you missed the call of your life. They will call back. and you will be so much better to talk to .
