This has been a very hard and trying time in our lives. Our profession and careers have been locked down and put on hold. NO MATTER what we try there is only so much we can do now. The profession of music and songwriting and performance are being held captive to the pandemic, politics, economics and a decrease in media support and assistance for musicians, songwriters , performers and recording artist, producers and record labels. Again I say, we MUST be strong within our convictions to our "GIFTS." WE must find new ways to "UNITE" with others i our profession and create and active and functional representation to the people who love our music and live on the energy and messages of our music. We MUST create new ways to generate income as a united group to help create a applicable method of monetary security. The resolution of this present situation is based on how much WE, the artists, musicians, songwriters and performers believe in each other and OUR FAN base. If we can unify our efforts we can stabalize our future. Tony Brown 8/27/2021 SFNM
