And suddenly my mind was blown....

Lying in bed on Sunday the 21st of November 2010 at 23:22 watching episode nine of "The Station is Watching YOU!", a show where they review relatively unknown but none the less brilliant youtube channels, I was introduced to a channel called "Music Maker Relief Foundation.". I usually never follow up on any of the channels reviewed but this one I felt compelled to. Because I don't trust my words to really describe in a way that really fits them to say what that do I have taken their own blurb and allowed it to do its job:
"MUSIC MAKER RELIEF FOUNDATION  
http://www.musicmaker.org

Music Maker Relief Foundation, Inc. helps the true pioneers and forgotten heroes of Southern music gain recognition and meet their day to day needs. We present these musical traditions to the world so American culture will flourish and be preserved for future generations.

Our criterion for recipients is they be rooted in a Southern musical tradition, be 55 years or older and have an annual income less than $18,000.

Music Maker Relief Foundation, Inc. is a tax exempt, public charity under IRS code 501(c)3.

Programs * Musician Sustenance - grants to meet basic life needs and emergency relief. * Musical Development - grants and services for recipient artist professional development and career advancement. * Cultural Access - supports the preservation and proliferation of American musical traditions.

This project is supported by the North Carolina Arts Council with funding from the state of North Carolina and the National Endownment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
please visit http://www.musicmaker.org."

I urge you please, if you never click another link I post here in all my blogging days, please click this one and allow your mind to be blown by these amazingly talented musicians.

That is the link to their Youtube page. (Just previewed this and I don't think any live link shows up Danggit!! Copy and paste is the only way!!)

I didn't want to post another blog for a while because I wanted to think of something smart and witty to write but I just felt so strongly about this I horribly invaded the night Miss Alternative posted her scrumptious first blog and stole the opportunity for Miss Zombie Nerd to take the third post. For this I apologise but I really couldn't help it. 

Love and hope to you all,
Miss Melodramatic.
