The Keshet benefit gig is a benefit for individuals with special needs, not the music camp. I have always preferred a politics-free violinist.com. Thanks for suppling links to the presidential candidate's arts policies. It's something that I had not researched yet because I feel much more strongly about some of the other pivotal issues in this campaign, but this is an interesting piece of the puzzle I had not had time to look up. I appreciate you dropping it in my lap. Thank you Rachel, for sending the link to all the candidates' stances on the arts. I've been looking for that! We as artists and musicians very much need to know this information so that we can be active, not passive, participants in the system that should include us in their funding and support. What a serious mistake to exclude this information to other artists - why would we choose to be ignorant? Thanks again... Politics- free----hmmmm.. I believe our music is always politically free, yet I feel as world citizens, we have the right to our bias, as much as any other lobbying group. Furthermore, to not use our collective voices in a proactive manner seems a cop out, and is NOT in keeping with common sense democratic philosophies dating back to Plato...(was he an artist, a philosopher or a polititian, I forget) I, personally, would applaud Rachel for taking time out of a busy schedule to stay abreast of how national and international policies affect the arts.
