This is not what I promised to post next. I am mindful of my commitment to outline a classical music promotion but this link came my way thanks to Google auto search set for “Classical Music.”
It’s a discussion on another blog where a reader asks how to convince someone “classical music isn’t boring.” The answer of course is, “Live an interesting life.”
Things have come to a pretty pass when that’s even a question but I think you may find this discussion revealing. Ask yourself how many of the proposed solutions might really be effective.

Not far off the mark, actually! Check out this blog entry about audiences, but the first comment (and its response) provide some interesting perspectives on those who not only lead extraordinary lives, but inspire others to do so, too, via their example and enthusiasm. AND (more importantly, perhaps) how the right place at the right time with the right people makes a HUGE difference!
