MUSIC

"Coming from a large southern family sports (music) were always a favorite past time, after homework that is. Girls loved the chase (I mean running the ball) and it was all opening up for them.

"In our home we were allowed musical freedom but basics came from Papa Bill, swing played,Detroit,Jersey country played rocked played.Musicians are story tellers who put a beat to their lives on their streets spinning tales from their perspective. And we are here to say it all matters, the arts matter they help complete the soul.As Louis Armstrong played the horn, skilled, he blew his spirit into our very soul and all children know of him from the JUNGLE BOOK, a DISNEY film. In our family Billie Holiday played, show tunes and theatre were at their best.Open their eyes to that which now might be unreachable without these things. We have always been impressed with those who are talented.

"With the music evolution there was such a cultural revolution in which we could only be a cosmic part in its lightning speed forward. How wonderful that with these times extreme sports have stepped in to get everyone pumped with passion! Do they realize that sports medicine can help with illness? Such as aquatic therapy does with muscular dystrophy?. SHOUT OUT to the Shark Bait Boys in Australia you actually get to swim with the sharks which combines education and what must be a wonderful organization for these children in their most difficult lives. They will never be the ones who hustle after a ball but they are still loved and respected.. Doctors really can make all the difference and it shows with the Duchenne Foundation in Australia making things relevant, fun and therapeutic for these children! WONDERFUL!"
