For this blog log, I chose the topic of music because I wanted to see different people’s perspectives around the theme of music. What got me leaning into this particular essay was the title itself: A Strange Connection. Right from the very start of the essay, there was extremely rich and insightful imagery that automatically hooked me in. I felt that I could easily relate to the writer because I too have gone into a music store, and really observed the atmosphere. There is something truly special about walking into a music store and seeing people of all different ages trying out a new instrument or giving their experienced advice to someone else. Similar to the writer, my own music journey has lead me to make many connections with several different people. It has even gotten me to guide other members of my family to join in on this wonderful journey. This essay certainly proves that there are thousands of people just like the writer and myself, creating connections that will last a lifetime.
