Stand and be counted, by David Crosby and David Bender

Musician David Crosby tells the behind-the-scenes stories of benefit concerts. The impact of music on issues such as civil rights has been powerful. Artists who are committed to making a difference have found their greatest personal satisfaction in contributing to a cause they believe in and raising the awareness of the population in general, and fans in particular. Since the concert for Bangladesh, which was tangled in the court system for eleven years before funds were available, promoters and musicians have worked hard to make sure that monies raised go to the right places. This will make you feel good as you read it.
