Music is art. Music is medicine. Music is love and live and a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

I don’t know about you, but music is my world.  There’s a song for every emotion and songs that bring back vivid memories. If music had been cut from my life when I was a kid, I probably wouldn’t have chosen the career path that I did and it’s sad for me to even think about that.

The Grammy Foundation  was established in 1989 to help spread awareness about the impact music has in the lives of people and how important it is to continue music and arts education. A lot of country musicians are stepping up to raise money for The Grammy Foundation so that music can continue to be a huge part of your life and mine by giving fans the chance to experience the high life for a day.

Carrie Underwood is stepping up her game by offering fans the chance to not only see her perform on the most famous stage in the world, the Grand Ole Opry, but to experience what it’s like to enjoy a private dressing room, to stay at the amazing Gaylord Opryland Resort, tour the backstage area, meet Carrie herself and take home some swag. If the price is right, this experience could be yours and you won’t feel guilty shelling out the big bucks because  the money that you spend will benefit the MusiCares Foundation, a branch off the Grammy Foundation.

If songwriting is your dream but you have no idea how in the world to even begin to get the attention of a recognized song writer, this screams your name.  Kristian Bush, one half of Sugarland will make your dreams come true with a private songwriting session (he wrote huge hits like "Baby Girl," "Settlin'," "Stuck Like Glue"). You can either Skype with Kristian or spend the afternoon in his studio where you’ll walk away with a professional demo of the song you and Kristian wrote.

If your pockets are deep or if you're looking for the perfect gift- a once in a lifetime gift- for that someone you love, definitely check out Charity Buzz because there are always tons of cool celebrity bids happening with proceeds that benefit various charities.
