Whether a song is recorded or being played in a live setting, one may instantly like it because of the introduction.
The intro, as it is referred to, may be 10 seconds or 60 seconds long. It also may be longer depending on many variables.
If you’re drawn in immediately, then the intro has done its job, and the band and musician have done their jobs. Sounds are easy to produce, but it’s one of the hardest things to do keep one’s attention after the intro.
To me the intro serves as kind of an elevator pitch. You know the adage. If you were in an elevator with some type of executive, how would you pitch (describe) yourself or your project in 15 seconds or less. Yes, now you are thinking how to pare down your work into that finite space of time. People do it every day in all kinds of situations for all kinds of jobs.

A driver is likely going to have to file a unique insurance claim after his vehicle was damaged when he hit and dragged a 10-foot gator in Montgomery County.
Anthony Jackson was driving the posted speed heading eastbound on the Grand Parkway around 3 a.m. Thursday. As he was crossing the San Jacinto Bridge, he hit a 300-pound gator that was in the road and dragged it under his vehicle for nearly a mile, according to authorities.
Jackson was not injured, but the gator did not survive the crash, officials said. It was loaded onto a wrecker while officials waited for a decision from the game warden about what to do with the body.

Vaccinating younger adults, however, is the biggest goal for city officials moving forward. All those young adults are probably working or probably still have some doubts about getting vaccinated, said Dr. Hector Ocaranza, the city-county health authority for the El Paso Department of Public Health.
The city has been taking vaccinations to residents through pop-up vaccination clinics across the city during events such as the El Paso Artists and Farmers Market or at the unveiling of a new community center.
Incentives might be offered for vaccinations
Incentivizing people to get vaccinated, D Agostino said, also is an option being considered.
The race to vaccinate El Pasoans is taking on increased urgency as new COVID-19 strains are reported in the area. So far, two variants, the California and United Kingdom variants, have been identified in 11 people in El Paso, according to Angela Mora, the city s public health director.
