During this holiday season we want to say "thank you" to all of you
for your support throughout the year.
"Thank you" to all of the musicians for sharing your time and talents
with so many others. And "Thank you" to all of you who continue to
support 'live music' in the bay area. We couldn't continue to do what
we do without you all.
"Thank you" to the musicians that help us bring music to so many
people that would otherwise be unable to enjoy such a treat. Those in
local hospitals, senior centers, and other similar environments.

Firesign Entertainment is very proud to bring live music to those who
may not otherwise be able to enjoy it. We founded and have built our
company on this idea, and are very proud of our commitment to keep
this project going. If during this coming year, you know of a
hospital, retirement home, teen center, or other organization that
could benefit from some live music performances, please contact us or
forward us the contact information. We are looking to expand our
'Music For All' program and want to reach out to as many places and
people as possible. We welcome any suggestions, and are always looking
for more performers also.
Thank you for helping us help others.
Happy holidays to you all~

In Light and Music,
Firesign Entertainment Staff
