I,
don't
know
if
I
miss
anybody,
but
let
me
say
the
reason
I'm
pointing
them
out
is
because
they've
all
volunteered
they
don't
get
paid.
They
volunteer
to
go
through
hundreds
of
submissions
that
are
free,
people
can
submit
in
ten
musical
categories,
and
then
they
pick
five
finalists.
The
venue's
provide
a
free
location,
underground
arts,
hard
rock
cafe.
C
Wall
cafe,
lies
the
cleft
club
and
so
on
and
and
after
the
performance,
the
judges
select
one
winner
who
wins
a
thousand
dollars
free
studio,
recording
time
and
many
other
prizes
and
it's
important
because
it's
not
just
their
aspiration
to
achieve
their
goals
as
a
musician
songwriter,
but
also
they
get
paid
and
they
pay
their
taxes
and
they
help
our
city
grow.
And
so
with
that.
Let
me
ask
you
to
allow
me
to
present
this
to
our
chief
cultural
officer,
kelly
leigh,
who
will
then
say
a
few
words.
This
is
a
resolution
recognizing
and
honoring.
