Charlie Kniceley - Acoustic Bass Guitar - charliebass.com It is a great honor to be associated with an organization that provides a non partisan healing service to our men and women in the armed forces. I am a veteran and proud supporter of Operation Music Aid and will continue to do everything I can to forward their mission. I am delighted that OMA is being supported by the Rosendale Street Festival. (the largest free music festival in America 2 days, 5 stages, 4 bands.) “It’s all about the music”.

The "pursuit of happiness" is one of the inalienable rights recognized by our country's founders not so very long ago. These rights have been heroically protected for all American citizens by the tremendous sacrifices of the men and women in our armed services who have put themselves in harm's way throughout our history. Unfortunately recently we have asked this of them again and they have again responded bravely and selflessly.

For me the freedom to be a musician has given me more than my own share of happiness. I've been lucky. Music has filled and enriched my life far beyond my expectations, and I have seen music touch countless others in so many ways. Music is the one universal language that all humanity can share. By supporting Operation Music Aid you can help give thanks to those that have sacrificed on our behalf by giving them a chance to know the fulfillment and joy of the pursuit and sharing of music. Music heals. Please help.

Petula Clark "I am deeply moved by Operation: Music Aid. There seem to be so many "worthy causes" these days - but what could be more worthy than this? Music has played a huge part in my life - and has given me strenght and solace through some dark times - so I know it's power to sustain, and heal." All my love and gratitude, Petula www.petulaclark.net ONLY OFFICIAL WEBSITE

And in times of pain and anguish, these songs soothed his troubled heart!! Warriors healing Warriors, Warriors healing themselves."
