It always amazes me that art funding is the first thing to get cut in the school and government budget. When money is needed in a hurry for any cause, the first thing they do is to call in the artist.
It always amazes me how distant we are to disease. We collectively understand sickness and illness, those are the ailments that you see on TV whereupon commercials are trying sell you a pill. If a pill can fix your ill health, most of the time food, exercise and simple life changes on your part can as well.
You never see commercials on TV for incurable diseases trying to sell you a pill. You don't see commercials for a Cancer pill and the same with Multiple Sclerosis, Huntington's Disease or Parkinson's.
Incurable diseases are not marketable. They are not product driven illnesses, the bottom line is not profitable nor does the bottom line extend quality of life.
We universally care about people with incurable diseases; we do fundraisers of all types to help accumulate money for research. We put on concerts, we sell paintings, we bake bread, we run far to help raise awareness for incurable diseases.
It's hard to ask you to give to my mission, as there are a lot of good causes out there. They are all of equal importance.
Even so, I will ask. Please go to this page (HERE) and read about what I am asking. If you can support me, thank you.
That is why it's up to the to artists to entertain us and to bring humanity to the cause: it's hard to dig deep if you're not raised up.
Arts only purpose is to serve.
In times of war send the musicians in first.
