Gone Before

I'm pretty pleased with myself for winning Uncommon Folk's "Music Maker Package Giveaway" and am looking forward to receiving the prize.

I've been looking at the Music Maker website (which I had never heard of before) and I really think that it's a worthy organization.

Here's the mission statement:

"Music Maker Relief Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping the true pioneers and forgotten heroes of Southern musical traditions gain recognition and meet their day to day needs. Today, many such musicians are living in extreme poverty and need food, shelter, medical care, and other assistance. Music Maker's aid and service programs improve the quality of recipients' lives. Our work affirms to these artists that we value the gifts of music and inspiration they have delivered to the world."

As a bonus, I found that the organization's newsletter features Pekar/Dumm comics which are mini-bios of different artists.
