*******
It starts with a love for music,
An appreciation of words,
and passionate communication
And creative expression
And the experience of having been inspired
Of having felt the magic that sometimes
Gets created in live performance,
In the place where artists and audience
Come together.
*******
It grows – out of and into a sense of purpose
To advocate on behalf of art, and spirit,
And the inspirational quality,
And with that comes a pledge –
To place and re-place the emphasis on
Essence and content
And to create opportunities and environments
That are richly rewarding.
*******
Through the power of community,
And the energy of trust
And a belief in the work and the vision
And with the strength of stamina, and
The force of fulfillment
It continues to expand
*******
Thanks are in order – to all…
The patrons and sponsors,
The talented team that pulls it together
For your support and participation
