#54 Bob Hemenger, musician and naturalist - a podcast by Planetary Gigs Society

From an early age, Bob Hemenger was into music (piano at 5 and sax starting in 5th grade) and nature (loving the outdoors since a kid). "My two loves truly are music and nature," he says. He met Victor Wooten at tracker school; he helped Victor make his first fire, and Victor helped Bob see nature as music. "To be a good musician, you have to listen deeply," he says, and for both music and nature you have to listen with your entire body. Both music and nature put you in the now, touching oneness, connecting with all things. He says music can come through you and heal you and the audience; that's magic, he says. "We can change the world, we can change each other." Great musicians don't play music, music plays them.
