First of all let me start off by saying thank you to anyone who reads this! I think it’ll be fun to give you a glimpse behind the curtain and into the lives of the performers here at American Music Theatre.

I’m talking about the mighty elements of Earth, Wind & Fire, one of the most musically accomplished, critically acclaimed, and commercially popular funk bands of the 1970s.

The internet is oh so many things. It has loads and loads of great information for people to consume. It can help needy causes, and really be a wonderful tool for the greater good. It can entertain, teach, and create all sorts of emotional responses from the viewer. It also contains lots of people performing music-related videos, sometimes it’s hilarious, sometimes it’s touching, sometime’s clever, and sometimes it’s just plain cool. So I thought I’d give a rundown of a few that I think are worth noting.
