Food For Thought - Dolly Parton and Being Yourself on Purpose

Bluegrass Jam Along

This week's episode is a Food For Thought episode. If you're not familiar with them, they're a series of short episodes on a single idea, designed to get you thinking and (hopefully) deepening your understanding of a particular music related area.
This week we've got a simple idea from Dolly Parton - "Find out who you are and do it on purpose."
So many of us think we should decide what kind of musician (or person!) we want to be, then work to become that, but the reality is we've all got something within us that's authentically and uniquely 'us' and we should all be doing our best to lean into it. Not that it's wrong to learn from and be inspired by others, just that only they can be themselves (and we can only be ourselves!)
I hope you find it useful! Back next week with another interview for you.
Happy picking,
Matt
