Who would have thought you'd see a day where someone felt Argentina was safer than England?

Anyway, I think everyone should offer what they can, and for musicians, that means their performance. This is the great tradition of the USO. Also, I cannot help but think of the musicians on the deck of the Titanic, who played until, well, they couldn't play any longer.

I recently met a firefighter who lives in Indiana. On September 11th, he and his collegues drove straight through to New York, and upon arrival, got in and helped putting out fires and digging through rubble. If firefighters can risk their lives, the least musicians can do is offer comfort and stability.

They are fond of saying in the US that if you stop living your life, the terrorists "have won." I seriously doubt whether the terrorists give a darn about an Argentinian performing or not, but I do believe that we should continue living - and what is life without music?
