The Breakfast Song

The breakfast song is a perfect example of how great innovative talent is often hidden under the deep underbrush of rural America. When I first saw this video I laughed and thought nothing of it. Days passed and 50,000 views grew to 100,000, which grew to 150,000, currently this video has received over a half a million views!!! This innovative and comic entertainment wasn’t written by some kid who went to school to learn how to write scripts for a late night comedy shows, nor was it produced under the bogus lights of mainstream publicity. This is an original and genuine product that aroused from the depths of “small” town America. There are many towns located in that gap east of the Mississippi and west of “Atlanta”, yet this is the last area popping up on entertainment agencies scouting reports. I’m aware that Tupelo, MS produced Elvis, Montgomery, AL gave us Nat “King” Cole, and Monroeville, AL gave us the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee, but there are so many more people who have come through this highly neglected area undiscovered.

Twenty, ten, and maybe even five years ago a small subtle song like “The Breakfast Song” would have never had the opportunity to reach millions of viewers. Thanks to the ever evolving and expanding world of technology, the small world now has an opportunity to “amplify” their voice. Whether it is for financial profit, fame, or mere fun, sites such as YouTube are opening up new corridors never before presented in the world of communication. Next time you view a random unexpected video from YouTube that captures the hearts of much of America, and receives attention from national news broadcasters, think of how that small insignificant but sudden YouTube sensation would have never been discovered if it wasn’t for the modernization of mass communication.

Here is yet another example of that small town talent. This group recorded its first album in a town that has less than 500 inhabitants. Never the less, self produced and managed, the group North Greene still exhibits the talent of true musicians.To hear music from North Greene visit the following link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9hS3xX6O-Q
