Why attend the rally?

[jazzstan]

For me, there is no way I can express the value of the friendships that have grown out of attending the Taxi Rallies, These friends have encouraged me when I didn't feel worthy. Others have shared creative musical and business ideas. A few have pointed out when I needed a "rectocraniectomy" - that's the clinical name for the removal the head from one's ass. Many of these Rally-related connection have become especially sweet and enduring friendships. A few were "there for me" - above and beyond - as I dealt with issues of an aging parent. The musical collaborations have been a delight - opening up my mind and ears to new possibilities (and put money in the bank.) I've watch folks grow and blossom in a myriad of ways. I've held my breath as some trudged through incredibly tough times. In all of these - there has been a spirit of giving and helpfulness, of courage and hope, of humor and humility. Priceless!

So, yeah, I'll be at the Rally again this year.

And you and I, along with Hummingbird, just put a cue in that critical library in LA!! Had it not been for the rally, we probably never would have collaborated!!
