Yesterday, Vancouver’s Sarah McLachlan<\/a> hosted a concert called Voices In The Park<\/em>. The concert was held in world-famous Stanley Park, and was a fund-raiser for the Sarah McLachlan School of Music<\/a>. The school offers free music lessons and programs for at-risk youth in grades 4 – 12.<\/p>\n

McLachlan was able to get some very big names for her concert, including: Bryan Adams, Stevie Nicks, and Hedley. However, perhaps the most universally known person there was someone not generally thought of for his musical abilities.<\/p>\n

Although President Bill Clinton is a saxophone player, he didn’t play horn last night. Instead, he flew in from New York just to give a 4 minute talk to the crowd on the importance of music education.<\/p>\n

Regardless of your political leanings, President Clinton’s message is a universal one. One I think should resonate with everyone.<\/p>\n
