Like family, we are tied to each other. This is what all good musicians understand.

Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts.

Historically, musicians know what it is like to be outside the norm - walking the high wire without a safety net. Our experience is not so different from those who march to the beat of different drummers.

Comedians talk to other comedians the way jazz musicians can talk to each other.

As human beings, we need to know that we are not alone, that we are not crazy or completely out of our minds, that there are other people out there who feel as we do, live as we do, love as we do, who are like us.
