Does music really make a difference in the world?
We'd like to think so. Public Domain Foundation has spent more than 30 years and almost 2 million dollars supporting children and family service organizations, domestically and abroad, through the royalties of just one composition, "The Wedding Song."
Our third Music to Life (MTL) awards and concert program once again presents a collection of unpublished compositions dedicated to social and political concerns.
These 11 songs were screened from almost 180 entries by an esteemed panel of well established folk singers/songwriters including: Judy Collins, Christine Lavin, Holly Near, Tom Paxton, John Stewart, Noel Paul Stookey, Mary Travers and Peter Yarrow.
Finalists shared their original songs at the MTL concert at the Kerrville Folk Festival on June 3, 2006.

This is great moving music; just what it should be!
author: Dean BoltI heard a few tracks on WWUH this morning and had to gather myself before going in to work. Words and music are right on the mark.
Meaningful Music and that is not easy to find these days.
author: Bill Hahn/WFDUSo many CDs come in and so many are very good---and then one just jumps out at you because besides the music, the beat, the lyrics---it has much meaning. More than the usual June Moon Spoon---or whatever today's rhymes are to say not much. This CD says it all with music that has meaning.
A magnificent - and important - collection of songs!
author: Ron Olesko - WFDU-FMEvery now and then a CD crosses my desk that makes me stop everything to listen."Music to Life - 2006", a CD that features the finalists of the 2006 Music For Life Songwriting Contest does exactly that! A magnificent,and important, collection of songs! The poetry and beauty of the writing is matched by the conviction of the artist and heartfelt performances. I hope this CD will help give exposure to these songwriters to an audience that will be inspired by their music. These songs help build a community. The songwriters represented on this CD are committed to making a difference in the world. Buy it!!!!
