Quote of the Week – “Music should be something that makes you gotta move, inside or outside” - Elvis
Inspiration of the Week – “There is no limit to what you can imagine,
and with commitment, with effort, what you can imagine you can become. Put your mind to work for you. Believe you can do it. The world will tell you that you can't. Yet, in your belief you'll find the strength, you'll find the ability, to do it anyway.” - Ralph Marston
