ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH

MUSIC CHARITIES : A FOCUS THIS MONTH AS WE END 2013 WITH THE HOLIDAYS

Had this idea a while, but decided it was time...

Music education has been cut in so many schools.  There are a lot of students who would just love to try to play the guitar or the saxophone or the drums who can't afford the instrument.  Dedicated performers who never got a good deal, or who got ripped off, live in poverty in old age.  Others can't afford medical care or are homeless.

These are the realities in our time. 

BUT WE LOVE MUSIC - Don't we?

This holiday season we present to you some MUSIC ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.  We heard about some and researched to find others.  These are national and local.

If you're interested, if you love music, contact them, check them out...

You can donate money, time, old musical instruments... and yes, make a difference!

(While we're at it, we'll be posting Christmas Music from the mid 1960's.)
