0730 Summer outdoor music festivals (?? ?? ????) - a podcast by tbs eFM

Today’s theme: Summer outdoor music festivals

Today, festivals are associated with wristbands, hashtags, vip tents, and paying an exorbitant amount of money for a bottle of water...but they haven’t always been like this. While we have examples of mass gatherings of revelry and worship from nearly all ancient cultures, including the notorious Dionysian celebrations of Bacchus, the actual word festival didn’t enter the English language until the 1500s where it was derived from the word feast and centered around harvests.

>>>A Few Minutes with Amos

I went to the beach and there was this guy sitting at a keyboard, looking out into the ocean, playing by himself.
He didn't even have a hat out for money or anything.
"Oh, maybe he's a composer and he needs inspiration to write music."
NOPE.
He was playing out of a book of printed sheet music.


>>>Next week: Murakami Haruki
