      <image:title>Our Story - The inspiration…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Several years ago our founder took a trip to Norway where he stumbled upon a street musician. An accordion player to be exact. He added just the right amount of color to an evening stroll already painted by a beautiful northern sunset. So, he snapped the shot. That Norwegian street musician has hung prominently in his home for years. But he always felt like there was more to it. Like a secret message was hidden in the cracks if he just listened closely enough. One day, he heard it. “Look, my case is closed! I’m giving away my most cherished gift to others. No payment needed here. No need for accolades. I’m free to give away what I love most. And tell someone else’s story, not just my own. For free.” So together with a team of songwriters and musicians, we’re listening to other peoples’ stories and bringing them to life through original music. Our hope is these songs connect with the people whose stories they honor and with others as well. Cheers!</image:caption>
