My Soul to Keep
Gun Violence has become a plague in America.
Mass shootings and deaths by guns in this country have become commonplace.
As musicians, besides voting, music can be our loudest, strongest voice.
Music can help us remember those we have lost and those who are forever impacted.
Music is a bridge across all ethnic, social, racial & religious divides.
Music can heal.
Music can help bring about the changes we so desperately need.
The time for change is now.
This music is free.
For everyone.
Forever.
