“Logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere.” – Albert Einstein
Now that summer is in full swing and many of you are already going or will be going to baseball or Little League games, I thought it would be fun to explore Baseball Music.
Does that mean hotdog music? Mustard music or potato chips music?
Ok, seriously, what is baseball music anyhow?
Well, the first known baseball music song was written in 1858 and was called “The Base Ball Polka!” Ever heard it? Me neither. But the most famous and most sung piece of baseball music is “Take Me Out To The Ball Game,” written by Jack Norworth on a scrap of paper in 1908. He was riding on a train going to Manhattan, New York and it only took him 15 minutes to write the song!
Imagine something that took so little time becoming so timeless! I’m pretty sure he didn’t imagine it at the time, but then again, who knows?
Your imagination is the greatest gift you’ve been given in this world so no matter what you do with this lesson, I want you to imagine amazing things about yourself, your voice, about music and about life!
Consider another thing Albert Einstein said about imagination:
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
Also, because lots and lots of people are on vacation at this point, I am going to make this a shorter than usual lesson.
Enjoy!
