ANNOUNCING! CLUB MFA ! (At Marvelous Free Art on Zaadz)

  Most of us spend much too much time just sitting in front of these hypnotic, seductive, delicious little screens, living that part of our lives which has now become digital, and often, too sedentary. Millions of years ago we used to spend our days climbing trees and running across the great savannas chasing food and/or mates, or alternatively, running away from our enemies.  There was a lot of motion in our lives, and about 99% of the need to move has now been eliminated by the comforts and conveniences of what passes for “civilized” life in the slow lane.  Many folks, and maybe you are one of them, do not even have the time to get out to a morning aerobics class: too much time getting there and back, roads too icy, too much snow, too hot, waiting for calls, and ______________________________?  So I decided some long time back to put all this digital goodness to even higher service than community-building, sharing, creating, and generally going global in so many ways. I discovered that in fact, my blog and our pods could serve yet another happy opportunity optimizing function: Our blogs and podscan become  music players !!!!  And I can “program”   music that makes me want to wake up and bounce, sing, wiggle, leap, mambo,samba,salsa, rock, hustle, twist, and shake the booty !  Yes!  And all this for free from our friends at You Tube. So that is why we have Kenny Rogers, and the Rolling Stones, and Bob Marley and Brooks and Dunn, and Tina Turner and these body-focused interludes.  When I am feeling like it is time to get up from my chair and move some, I just find a toon that appeals and let it rip until I have had a good rousing dance break, then, adrenaline up, I go back to work.  Or, I can find some relaxing classical music, or something to meditate with, and enjoy a few moments of peace and relaxation.  Our new Club MFA is just one little corner of the universe where there is some rockin' music to put you back in touch with your body and chase away the “been sitting around here too long blues.”  Or take a quiet moment with soothing music to restore your soul.  I have given up long ago on “saving the world,” or even changing it.  I have modified my aspirations from creating world peace to supporting world sanity. But there is one place over which I have more or less complete control, and it is this digital playing field where we can do a great deal to get back in touch with all that is good about us, and share our joy and celebrations with others.

Please use these musical moments for healing and refreshment.

And feel warmly invited to share your own favorites.

Just post your links either in New Posts or in the Discussion section.

If you have trouble posting videos here, the You Tube link will do just fine.
