"Look At The Stars, Man"…The Encounter That Inspired An Iconic Song
A chance encounter at a bed and breakfast led me to uncover the story behind the lyrics of one of the most iconic songs of a generation.
The people of Instagram got groovy this weekend for a holiday based around playing music on the porch to celebrate backyard musicians from around the world.
In case you missed it, musicians everywhere were grabbing their guitars and hitting the decks to celebrate National Play Music On The Porch Day last week.
People from close to 20 different countries participated in the second annual event by playing music across a variety of genres and styles, using every instrument imaginable.
