Hey Guys did you know about this? Here is the link to the article and then the petition, should you care to sign. Maybe this would lead to greater support down the line for artists. Did you know there is a Dutch retirement home for artists? I heard somewhere about a place in Italy for retired musicians where no one has to be pay and it is subsidized by a wealthy benefactor. I mention this only because I feel that artists who have dedicated their lives to their craft should supported as they are in other nations.
