Thread Name: Why we sing.
Subject: RE: Why we sing.
Thanks Mick...

I have found the Big Brother program to be a wonderful mentor program. Steve's father lives on the strret after getting out of jail. When I met steve he was 12 years old, full of hate and anger. Today he is 24, the only member of his family working, searching for a quality of life, trying to make it on his own, Plays a bass guitar we found in the garbage and is trying to help others. What happened? A group of folk music friends made him feel welcome, gave him a helping hand and lifted him up!

Why do I sing? It lifts me up first and Its the only way I know how to lift others. My words only go to the heart, but music reaches the soul.

Thanks agian Mick.
