The past two years have been life-changing on so many levels. The COVID-19 pandemic left artists in a quandary. Earning became impossible, since restaurants, night clubs, theaters, concert halls, and most other venues where music is performed closed down for over a year. Some went out of business. So many musicians died. I counted many among the 55 departed souls that I knew, who are gone. Good things happened and I keep my eyes on the prize. To tell the stories of innovative musicwomen and musicmen, we published two annual issues each of Musicman and Musicwoman Magazines. www.musicwomanmagazine.com - www.musicmanmagazine.com www.wijsf.org
