I decided to try and find an article that showed a connection between GIS and the history of music. While searching I found the Seattle Music Map. Seattle is one of today’s most dynamic music cities, where a rich history feeds a lifestyle that is all about innovation, inspiration, and rocking the house every day and night. Visitors to the site are able to click on any location on the map to find out more information about music-related events that happened there. The website covers music from the Vaudeville Era (1864- 1925), Classic Jazz era (1917- 1933), Flower Power, Light Show (1967- 1970), and the Punk Era (1976- 1983) as well as many others. One notable attraction in the heart of Seattle is the Jimmy Hendrix Statue on 900 E. Pine St. This privately commissioned artwork shows Seattle’s legendary axeman in a typically flamboyant performance pose.
