Music is one of the few things that accompanies us throughout our entire lives. It appears during childhood, follows us through adolescence, evolves alongside adulthood and remains present well into later years.

Ask a group of friends about the best concert they've ever attended and something interesting happens. The conversation rarely begins with technical details. People don't usually discuss sound quality, lighting design or ticket prices.

There is something wonderfully unpredictable about live music. The song may be familiar. The artist may perform it hundreds of times. Yet no two performances are ever exactly the same. Perhaps that's part of the appeal.
