Why do we play music nobody likes?

Why do we play music "nobody" likes?

Many styles of music are of a minority interest. Especially if your musical interest originates from a country, era, or culture different than your own. 

​Hanging out and posting online only goes so far.

So why do we persist swinging, shuffling, rocking and improvising decades after demise of these once popular forms in tiny rooms to tiny audiences? We are hardly making art with a capital A. We are essentially paying homage to something that already exists. Yet we continue.

So why? 

Good question.

• Love?
• Habit?
• Laziness?
• Fellowship?
• Inertia?
• An act of homage?
• Curiosity?
• Professional obligation?

I think there is a bit of all the above in myself.
