This song is an expression of the anxiety I've experienced in the last several months. So much has changed, and not yet for the better. The road to a brighter future is a hard one, and while I will continue to support minority rights and civil rights in general, with this song I'm choosing to help benefit the lives of underprivileged children with little to no access to artistic and musical outlets. Therefore, all proceeds will benefit Hungry For Music (
hungryformusic.org), a charity organization that helps get instruments and learning opportunities into the hands of less fortunate young people.
For reference, Hungry For Music provides this general guide on the cost of instruments:
$30 - 3 Recorders
$50 - Acoustic Guitar
$75 - Electric Guitar
$100 - Djembe Drum
$150 - Flute
$175 - Violin or Viola
$200 - Clarinet
$250 - Trumpet or Trombone
$350 - Alto Sax
$500 - Cello
$1000 - 20 instruments for a community after-school program
Please donate whatever you can, with my sincerest thanks in advance.
