Pokagon Area Folk Music Collective: What is a Folk Music Collective?

Make This Happen!

Make it happen by sharing on Facebook and with friends at least once a week!

The Pokagon Area Folk Music Collective is an abstract idea rather than a concrete, defined entity. Anyone who wishes or imagines himself to be a member, or who participates in a Collective activity, is a member, by that virtue alone. My role is simply to facilitate and catalyze connections and ideas that bring people and music together. More specifically, I neither have nor will I accept operational or financial responsibilities beyond promoting this vision. Whatever happens in the course of Collective get-togethers is entirely the responsibility of individual parties enjoying themselves on equal footing.

A Collective is where things come together.

Like us, when musicians share through their instruments and we clap our hands and tap our toes, or sing along and dance, or just wiggle with the music and smile…

Then we are joined in a special way, and when we are joined by Folk music, we are joined in an extraordinarily special way, because Folk is the most honest, expressive, mature, heartfelt, deep, and knowing-of-life music there is.

This joining together... That is what our Folk Music Collective is.

And never forget:

Every day we choose

how much to see

through our eyes

and how much to see

through our Imaginations...

Music is the eye of the Soul
