The Value of Giving Back...

If you have the ability or talent to play a musical instrument, you're part of a unique group of people. You've got that rare something; that rare spark inside you that wants to burst into a creative flame! For most of us, it's humbling when you realize just how much of a gift you've been given. Maybe you've worked your butt off getting to that place where you're happy musically, but your journey never would have started without that first step; that first bit of inspiration; that first "WHOA -- I can actually do this!" Hard work alone didn't get you from zero to hero. You built everything off of that first initial gift you received. And as that gift grows and matures, you feel like you've got to give it away in order to keep it.
For example, check out our friends at the American Patriot Music Project. They're a talented group of vets and musicians who have that deep compulsion to share their musical gifts. They support vets and first responders with all kinds of music therapy from guitar building to music lessons to grants to live performances. Go see what they're all about and support them if you can! (https://americanpatriotmusic.org/)
