Music… Some of us look at music as a way of life. Others look at music as an escape from the world. Music has a different meaning to everyone that listens to it. People listen to music when they are happy or sad. Some listen to music because it calms them or helps them think. Music isn’t just about notes, scales, and rhythm. It’s about finding a way to express yourself.

For Musicians… Whether you play keys, strings, bang on drums, use your vocal chords, or play the triangle, I want you to know that we appreciate you. It doesn’t matter how many awards or trophies that you receive. WE APPRECIATE YOU!!! Never give up on your dreams. Some of the best musicians came from nothing. Not everyone is the best at everything or gets medals and plaques. I want to encourage you to follow your dreams because if you give up you will not succeed. Music is a way of life and it helps us express ourselves. Never give up the happiness and talent that come along the way.

For Non-Musicians... We appreciate the love and support that you bring to the musicians. Without your support, we wouldn’t be musicians. We are musicians because we love music but also because we want to make our fans happy. Some musicians do not have family and rely on the support of their fans. Every time you walk around and see someone on the ground playing the guitar on a street corner, just compliment them and tip them. The compliments show us that you like our music and encourage us to keep going. The tips help us make a living because not everyone becomes famous and make millions like Beyonce and Jay-Z. So thank you for your help and support and keep doing what you're doing.
