We have local treasures again, and it’s because of the Internet, and it’s a good thing.
One of my favorite books in the wold is Kurt Vonnegut’s ‘Bluebeard,’ which I took to be something of a mea culpa from the World War Two generation’s role in spawning the Baby Boomers. Maybe I read too much into it (imagine that, me, jumping to conclusions). The great passage was that it talked about a painter or a singer that would have been a local treasure….
….having to compete against worldbeaters and the best in the world…and how the world was poorer for it. YouTube and its ilk push back that battle, and people like ‘Julia Nunes’ can get exposure for themselves and can enrich us all.
We have local treasures again, and that’s fabulous.
(Now, Julia, when you put your music on a digital download like e-junkie, I’ll be happy to pay for it. CDs are so 1998…)
