There is nothing better than the sound of music. Music comes in many genres; there is jazz, classical, country and even pop. Music has a way of changing the atmosphere and brings you back to great memories that last for a lifetime. Although I don't play an instrument myself, my years spent as a DJ and Radio Announcer have given me a great appreciation for music as I have played every format from Christian to R&B to Rock.
Last year I had the wonderful gift of meeting a young woman who plays the violin. I had no idea what a treat I was in for. Her name is Brooke Alford and when she plays her violin, she actually becomes one with the instrument. Every note comes into perfect harmony and alignment with her body movements. I have never seen or heard anyone play an instrument and the instrument actually begins to SING. It's no wonder they call her the "artist of the violin".
Brooke will be performing at the Cobb Chapter's SCLC 7th Gala on Saturday, February 4th, 2012 from 6:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The performance will be held at the Doubletree Hotel located at 2055 South Park Place, Atlanta, Georgia 30339. The keynote speaker for the event will be the Rev. Dr. F. Keith Slaughter.
The Cobb Chapter SCLC will have activities throughout 2012 that celebrate the life and heritage of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Their theme this year will be "The Dream Lives On". Martin Luther King Jr. served as the first SCLC president in 1957 and made a mark in history as he promoted civil rights and non-violent peaceful change in the world.
