Michael Monroe

Got to hear one of long time favorites Friday night. Check out his myspace here Michael Monroe. I first heard Michael in a living room at a Young Life club in Cedar Falls, IA.  In 1975. Now he lives in a cabin near Grand Marais, MN,

I recently listened to an interview with  Leo Kottke who talked about being “in concert.” I normally think of the term as referring to a show with a time and a place. Kottke described being in concert in deeper terms. The theosuaus lines up words for concert like; together, jointly, in combination, in collaboration, in cooperation, in league, side by side; in unison and in harmony. Leo spoke of an energy that he can feel coming right through the floor that flows between him and the audience. For him, that is when he knows he is in concert.

Listening to Michael’s music was indeed an in concert experience entwining the audience in a breathing spiritual life calming joy.
