Quite frequently we hear from politicians about how important our music culture is, but where is the real support? If the NOMC and other musicians' relief organizations can step up and help fund additional gigs for musicians when times are bad - why can't our city & state do the same - there are plenty of places musicians could be playing, but where's the funding? I do think Mitch is the most likely to do what's right to improve treatment of musicians ands other artists. Right on, Jan!
