Does your child want to be a professional musician? How do you feel about that? Do you encourage them to pursue their dream or guide them down a safer path?

The music scene is negatively affected by the economy.

This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock. There will be hundreds of Tributes to Woodstock across the country this August. So you might as well block off the weekend of August 15-16 right now. The one I’ll be at is the Twin Cities School of Rock Woodstock Tribute concert at Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis. A FREE concert. Starts at noon. Great family activity. Pack a picnic lunch and share the story of Woodstock with your kids!
