#126 Bruce Blaylock, guitarist and raconteur - a podcast by Planetary Gigs Society

Bruce Blaylock began piano lessons when he was very young, but he wasn’t that into it because the teacher never asked him what Bruce wanted to play. Later, his friend Chip encouraged him to start guitar, and Bruce hasn’t stopped playing since, currently with his band Beat Hotel. He says he has met so many remarkable people in his life through music and it has opened many doors. Bruce went to college and law school in New Orleans, and got to experience and play a lot of music from that fascinating city.

Bruce says, “Music helps you find your people and your people find you, and that’s powerful.” He says music is literally magical, and he has seen magical performances on stage in many shared experiences over the years. Music creates a “connective tissue” with others in the music community and the audience, and Bruce also says music can help make life meaningful even when there are dark clouds. Please give a listen to Bruce’s fun and interesting storytelling about growing up with music.
