Behind the Music
Smoke TreesI was very excited when asked to be involved in this project, since I am fascinated by the sea and the ocean. I was eager to learn more. Because I am an avid thinker and interested in politics, the possibility of doing something meaningful with my music also made me happy. It’s great that some of the proceeds of my work will go toward Ian’s future reporting, and I hope the music will benefit his work by bringing it to the attention of the musicians’ audiences.
