A bit of a blast from the past from the summer of 2009, Music Saves – I Shall Be Released:
I loved this video! And what better way to overcome adversity, then through music. Music Saves was developed to raise awareness for Music Therapy programs such as VAMS (Vancouver Adapted Music Society) & The Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund and the wonderful work they do to help inspire folks to achieve their dreams, disability or no disability (really hate the word disability, incidentally – as something is only a disability if you treat it as such).
Felt inspired to post this now, as The Shore 104.3 fm is launching Music Saves II this Wednesday, November 3, 2010, featuring Dan Mangan, Odds, John Mann, Kuba Oms, Jim Byrnes, C.R Avery, Barney & Dustin Bentall, The Van Horns, VAMS Allstars, Adaline and so many more performing Dave Mason‘s Feelin’ Alright.
You can “Win Your Way In” to the launch, including live performances from members of this year’s and last year’s video by staying tuned to The Shore and interacting with their twitter and facebook feeds. Can’t wait! Hoping to be there myself!
Kisses,
Emme xoxo

A beautiful way to end my day of 8 hours in front of macbook, thanks Emme this inspires me to check into music therapy for my youngest son Kagen. Remember we talked at Gudrun at the Reading is Sexy event? There might be more going on than I thought, that is what has come up in the last few weeks.
On another musical note I was fortunate to acquire a beautiful mandolin for my other son Isaac is almost 12. He was so happy as I was to gift it to him, yet the great thing was it was gifted to me by a woman I corresponded with from craigslist.
Yes the music goes on and is the gift that keeps on giving, e 🙂

Glad to hear it Erika!
I was actually thinking about you when I wrote this. And yes, I very much remember our talk at Gudruns.
Been meaning to fire you an email. And will do now that I have resurfaced from the writing deadlines.
