I was thinking the other day about our move to Oahu and I thought how much easier the move had been with the advent of all the modern miracles that surround us. When we told our friends of our intent, we were warned of "Island Fever", that claustrophobic feeling of being trapped on an Island, as well as countless other reasons to not move here, all of which I'm glad to say have yet to manifest themselves. In fact, after a little more than a year, I am only now starting to feel as though I am beginning to understand how vast Oahu is, let alone her sister Islands that we have yet to really explore at all.
There was also the thought of isolation from all that we had known... friends, family, familiar places, all of which we have been able to stay in touch with and even had the pleasure of hosting in our new surroundings. That is the magic of the aforementioned modern miracles. I think the move would have been harder without email, without cable and cell phones and without mapquest and google I'm not sure if we would have survived. Throw in jet planes, overnight delivery, Costco and cable news and I don't feel as though I've given up a thing. And what we've gotten in return has been a life we only imagined.
I am of the age that the internet and all it has to offer constantly amazes me. While talking to my longest friend the other day, he told me of one more wonder of the internet. The site is called WolfgangsVault.com, and it is an amazing place. They have a library of concerts that I can't wait to explore. There are concerts that we actually went to in the '60s and 70's and it is truly a blast to click on a favorite performer and remember when. Now, not only can I go San Francisco, LA or anywhere else with a click of the mouse... but I can even find myself at the doors of the Fillmore with tickets in my hands.
I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do and if you find a good show, let me know. "As long as there is music..."
