Pay Dirt and the Songwriting Tradition

Every songwriter has a place where if they get there, it will be pay dirt.
Usually it will be where the human condition, is perfectly intertwined 
with the songwriters own personal truth.


When pay dirt is hit as a songwriter (the money will soon follow), 
is where the audience says, "Yes, I get you."
Fans say 'yes' over and over, in support of the hit song.


In some way the hit song is the symbol of the performer (and the fan). 
Though neither the songwriter or the fans realize all this consciously, for the most part.


These symbols of our selves are hard to find.  Songwriters look for them in the alleys, and clubs, on recordings, and through other performers.  Psychotherapists can't find them for the songwriter either.  Pay dirt is kind of like an intangible truth outside our conscious awareness, until it hits.  It is somehow born through the experience of live relationships to fans.


When we know it, we know it.


That is why performing live is so important to a songwriter.  
They need to get to the pay dirt, and you as the listeners, are the ones to help.


Thank you for coming to the shows, and sharing your awareness of what you feel is the pay dirt for each of our performers.

A Message From Your Organizer

Sustainable Reality House Concerts

is a way for me to volunteer my time

to bring you the best musical experience

in a live nature setting.

I believe in music and the Earth,

and want to see the best happen to both.

I need your support to make this happen.

The ticket price you are paying goes to the artists,

unless they donate something to charity.

That allows artists that usually have to deal

with the market outside to get fair trade.

To make this sustainable though, 

I will need your support of this series

and the space.

Please give me your support in

 telling your friends about this series, and
respecting, and appreciating

the nature of

what we are doing here,

so we can continue to have the best shows possible!

Thank you for coming,

and enjoying this intimate evening with fine music!

Enjoying the Relationships Between Musicians

Enjoying the Relationships Between Musicians !

When we move through music with love,

feeling the various places we can take it,

there are enjoyment sparks that fly.

Changes, learning,

are happening

right here in this moment,
and it is exciting.

When we hear the depth of exchange

between musicians,

we are hearing something that can only be

taking place right here

and now

in this moment.

It is a joy, and excitement,

that only a live moment in music

can bring to listeners and players.

Also, and

in response to that,

the garden,

where it's all happening,

responds as well,
with the chirps of birds,
rustling of palm leaves,
or the slow tone-acious
movement of the moon.

We believe that musicians

performing, and 

having a chance to be heard, 

in our natural South Florida garden 

is exquisitely important.

And we support that all we can.
