My husband once explained to me the growth of the modern singer-songwriter. He told me that back in the day, prior to recordings, there were a select few composers who published music. Other musicians would pay the composers for their sheet music and that was the primary way music was disseminated.

In the 20th century, technology made it possible for artists to write, record and distribute music easily. More and more musicians began writing and performing their own music and the modern singer-songwriter was born. Although singersongwriters may be influenced by other musicians, they listen to their own inner wisdom. They rely on their direct connection to Source to create music. They let the music come through them.

This same process is happening with spirituality. In the past, we had to go to specific churches or teachers in order to hear music or divine truth. Now we are all waking up and listening to the music and the divinity within ourselves. We are learning that we are all directly connected to Source and divine wisdom is
available to each and every one of us. All we need to do is listen. -- Reverend Erin Fry
