As we approach the holiday season we wanted to share one of the brightest of shining stars in the music community: the California Bluegrass Association Kids Instrument Lending Program. For years we've supported this program which is a model of the goodness that is music. West coast based music writer Dave Berry is knowledgeable about the program and knew the people responsible so was the perfect person to profile their activities. I hope this season you'll consider the gift of an instrument or support their efforts with a modest donation. The world could use a lot more of what they've been doing for years.
