Hello my name is Shaun Fallows & this is my attempt at a 2nd blog on my channel daily
Rantra & i'd like to talk about something i've always been obsessed with music soul
music. I've always loved music especially the soul there's just something i can't explain
the feelin when i hear stuff like move on up Curtis Mayfield it's universal.
Anyway i'm going to watch Martha & the Vandellas this Saturday and i'm so thankful that i can
get in the building easily because i'd love to go more soul nights i'd be at every one
i could find but many of the buildings are always in kind of basement bars or underneath.
Now i can understand they want to keep it authentic that kind of underground scene exclusive
kind of thing and some adaptations cost lots.
But for me that's a shame there's so much great feeling in the music so many people
in chairs would be loving to listen to that. Not only is the music great for me but also
those people like Otis Redding and Sam Cooke, James Brown Al Green all of them you know
it wasn't just the music it was the way they represented themselves. The true meaning of
soul really coming from backgrounds with nothing much to shout about. Some of them guys i mean
i think otis redding came from being a farmer he had nothing but yet he looked really sharp
everything he put everything into what he had.
Like James brown said on stage we are people too we like the birds and the bee's we'd rather
die on our feet than keep living on our knees. I think that's a message if more people in
wheelchairs could get to soul nights any live music and feel that feeling it gives you when
you a great tune comes on. That Belief to dress smart look smart and just believe in
yourself for me soul music gives me all those things.
Its a thing that so many people with disabilities don't have access to. connection to live experience.
I mean i go sometimes getting records from Manchester and even tho the guy knows me cos
I've been a couple of times i have to go on the internet and tell him a list of the cds
i want then he'll bring them out because the shop doesn't have access. I said to the guy
listen if do get access or you do find a way of upgrading your building i'd buy every record
i could find in your shop and be there every month to buy records so you know from a money
point of view that guy and many other shops venues or missing out. So that's my 2nd rant
on Dailly Rantra so please look at making music more accessible because everyone should
be involved if they want to be and soul music is great.so that's my rant for this one and
i look forward to Martha & the Vandellas and i think there'll be an heatwave.
