   About Music Maker Relief Foundation
Our Mission: Music Maker Relief Foundation 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. Our mission is to give back to the roots of American music. You can help by visiting our website, www.musicmaker.org. And for more information, contact us online at info@musicmaker.org.
Here is what people say about MUSIC MAKER Relief Foundation

ERIC CLAPTON: A fabulous project real evidence that the music I have always loved is alive and well.

B.B. KING: I cannot encourage people enough to learn more about Music Maker Relief Foundation and to listen to the music that they document and promote.

MORGAN FREEMAN: Music Makers is a perfect complement to the exciting and promising resurgence in Americas roots music.

TAJ MAHAL: Music Makers clearly dispels the notion that real blues musicians are long gone.

BONNIE RAITT: Its great to have this window on some under-appreciated bluesmen and women

PETE TOWNSHEND: A labor of love and honor for the blues, and all its loudly unsung old-timers.

ROSANNE CASH: Music Makers is an essential document of roots music in America. It is alive with the voices of these great musicians, and a pure pleasure to read and ponder.

World Peace Before 2021





May 12 2008 8:28 AM

Thank you for YourFriendship. My eight-year-old-peace-activist son Axil Kollist's quest for World Peace Before 2021 is gaining momentum! I'm so proud of him. Please embrace him AND his song "World Peace Before 2021" which he performs beautifully. His performance can be seen on MySpace, his webpage www. worldpeacebefore2021. com and/or YouTube (by searching his name Axil Kollist.) It is my intention to post a new video of him singing his song every few months so people can watch his talent grow as impressively as the momentum for his quest! I'm inviting you to contact my son directly too via his email address worldpeacebefore2021@hawaii.rr.com .I'm sharing two photos with you. The first is of my son distributing his free world peace bumperstickers and the second photo is of him singing his song “World Peace Before 2021” at Maui's Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Day Festivities in January 08. Very best regards, Axil's mom
