Billy, the music loving dog is taken to the music hall filled with musicians practicing and listens for the sound that pleases him the most.
It’s the cello. 🎻
He lays down basking in the waves of sounds he chose out of all the others.
Music is the universal language.

I love how music transcends not only every human but every species. That’s why I love all musicians because they share a message that resonates with every living being on this planet.

Yes. You want to support musicians? BUY their work. Buy their merchandise. They need money to live! Streaming gives them almost no money! Musicians make more awesome music for you when they aren't literally starving!
I make $20 every six monthsish on the combined streams of all four of my albums on all streaming sites. At Bandcamp I make about $10 every time I sell an album, physical or download. Use Spotify if you want, but if you like living artists making a living, buy something from them where they get paid.
Who would have foreseen that by effectively stealing music from artists by stopping paying out on songs that have less than 1000 streams in the past 12 months would result in a first ever annual profit for Spotify?

One of the best behind the scenes Documentaries on Pop music you’ll ever see.
This group of L.A. session musicians were literally the sound of the 60’s & 70’s.
They were known in the industry as…

Chappell Roan is completely correct! Musicians are workers, and we deserve fair payment & dignity in our workplace. UMAW introduced the Living Wage for Musicians Act with Rep. Rashida Tlaib to build a fairer music industry and increase wages for musicians. We need your help to make it happen!
"Record labels need to treat their artists as valuable employees with a livable wage and health insurance and protection. Labels, we got you, but do you got us?"
