Nashville... a city of dreams.



Nashville is a place full of dreams and expectations. Stardom and fame are a driving force behind those who strive to rise above the rest. The Nashville Music Experience is a place for the audience, the spectators. The ones who are on the outside looking in.
Sarah Ventre explored how.  Musicians Weigh Big City dreams against Hometown Pride. in her NPR article.

As I walked the street today, I spotted a man walking with a guitar in hand. In his face, I could see his dreams, hopes and fears. Perhaps an he was headed to an audition or a local live music event or even a recording session...anything was possible. And with his walk, his attitude, anything was possible.

As a fellow dreamer, I saw a bit of myself...and yet I also felt his fear. His knowledge of knowing the statistics...sometimes it helps not to think about the number of dreams that have been broken.

For some reason, the human spirit keeps dreaming. Imagine the courage, and determination it takes to walk on. This may be why we all celebrate each time someone, even a stranger, finds their dream...because deep inside, we all can dream.
