There is something about gathering around a fire that makes some folks of any age or sex want to sing and play music.  If an instrument is present, people who know the words to the song can be found, and even without instruments, people enjoy singing around a campfire.  There is just something about gazing into a fire that people find relaxing, enough to find themselves wanting to burst into song.  In addition, liquid spirits are often consumed in the presence of fire, and this improves perceived talent. Fire makes a crowd a community and helps reveal their true nature.

Having a firepit on your deck or porch area is a great way to attract guests. Just fire it up and all of the people will just naturally come closer to the fire.

If your friends like the idea of cowboy life, maybe an in-ground fire pit will work well for you, it will be deep down in the ground. An actual pit is dug into the earth, and rocks, or blocks, or even a steel ring is placed around it to contain the fire. This can be as primitive or as engineered as your needs dictate. Such a pit is nicest with a wide stone rim, to sit on and rest your beer, and its direct connection to the earth lends itself to country music and folksongs.

Kumbayah. The Red River Valley is a relaxing and scenic place to visit. A nice song in the night forges peace among people. It is doable using fire. Primitive men and females made humming and grunting noises to communicate, and today people can really make some great types of sounds to communicate with each other. Fire enabled so many things  and one of them happens to be growth of good music.
