little munich /// odd venue

Little Munich

A cute lil german restaurant/ bar in Lake Worth, FL. Most nights, you'll find amazing german beer on tap and empty seats all around you (and a friendly, bored bartender). But every once and awhile, they open up to great local bands (and a frazzled, tired bartender).

Just saying, if you are in the palm beach area, you should throw some business their way and drink a beer that you've never heard of and can't pronounce.

Imagine a group of south florida hipsters rocking out with old europe types, who are old.

expand your horizons.

Music Therapy is Bullshit /// Anyone Can Play Guitar


Ok, perhaps I am being harsh. The music therapy scientists have done a great job proving that people feel/ get better when they get to hear tunes that they love. No shit. But the american music therapy association thinks that you need to get certified and study at an approved music therapy program in order to accomplish this task.

I can be a fan of official-ness at times, this is a situation of creating false barriers to rocking someone's socks off. If you know a friend or relative who is sick, go play their favorite songs. Book shows in hospitals. If grandpa used to drum during the swing era, go to his bed side and bang a snare in his face. No license to rock required.
