Younger/Peer/Older/Gone--#1 of 4

This week I begin a little series of sharing inspirations from four different groups. We have been trying to broaden our horizons by routinely gleaning from the following: Younger--those up and comers who keep it fresh and exciting for us, Peer--from our own age group, Older--mature knowledge from those further on up the road, and Gone--classic wisdom from those whose artistry is still alive with us in spirit. To be too enmeshed in only one of these groups for an informational fountain is to be continually skewed in your perspective. Crossing generational lines (both ways--older and younger) is a valuable way to grow both musically and personally.
