American Armed Forces Find Sanctuary In Rhythm Of Honor CD

Hollywood, CA--8/15/05-- We are sometimes caught dealing in generic phrases like "military action" or "defense plan," and we may forget that good men and women, not words, defend freedom. These people are fathers, aunts, cousins, younger, older, grumpy, funny, quiet and/or loud, just like you and me, except they offer their lives "on demand" to protect ours. Rhythm Of Honor, an eclectic CD recently released by Goodnight Kiss Music, pays tribute to the American Armed Forces and their families.

Listeners have an opportunity to take part in a two-fold process that helps all the individuals involved in the project, directly and indirectly. While 50 cents of every CD retail sale is donated to the Wounded Warriors Hospital Fund and 95% of all their donations go to rehabilitating the troops wounded in war, you have an opportunity to hear independent artists perform songs from a multitude of genres.

Eleven tracks make up the powerful Rhythm Of Honor CD. It is full of heart wrenching lyrics that will make you reevaluate your life and bring tears to your eyes. The variety of music is extraordinary, giving all musical tastes a chance to zone in on the meaning of this disc. While the musicianship is good, the heartfelt lyrics will force you to look in the mirror and ask yourself why you ever complain about your life. This is all about the personal stories of real life heroes, our United States military.

This is not your everyday CD, and it is not only the music that you will hear loud and clear. The story between the notes will hit home with force. The music is great and it drives all the messages straight to heart with feelings that are hard to describe without having some kind of personal experience related to the subject.

If you are grateful for what you have and believe in preserving the freedom of our nation then Rhythm Of Honor will hold meaning and significance for you. While it may help to have first hand experience with the military way off life, it is not a necessity to take part in this wonderful musical effort dedicated to those that make personal sacrifice a part of their daily lives.

COLONEL AND PRODUCER JOIN FORCES in the PASS IT ON! Audio Postcard Campaign
 
July 28, 2005  Hollywood, CA -- What could a Colonel running rehabilitation hospital funding and an independent record producer in Hollywood have as common ground? Each brings forth their best to support rehabilitation efforts for wounded service personnel.

Colonel John Folsom runs the Wounded Warriors Hospital Fund for rehabilitation of wounded soldiers. After reading about his efforts, Goodnight Kiss Records owner, Janet Fisher, contacted him asking if he would allow her company to make a small donation from a new record, 'Rhythm Of Honor,' written and sung by and troops and family members of troops.  Ms. Fisher, whose father, uncles, and many cousins had been in service, wanted to pledge a portion of each CD sale to the hospitals, and start a campaign of awareness about their rehabilitation efforts, helping them raise funds and see an increase in "care packages" sent.

After an exchange of letters and receiving enthusiastic blessings Colonel Folsom, Fisher informed the writers and artists on the record of the plans, who became even more excited about the project.  "We can only pay tribute with our pens, hoping that our music will inspire others to show their support. Troops are people like you and me, except they offer their very lives on demand," said Fisher, "At first, we thought a donation from the CD was the best way to go, but then we had the idea for the PASS IT ON campaign.

We didn't want to require a purchase on the part of our audience to share our spirit, so we decided to shine a music light on the Wounded Warriors Hospital Fund by freely offering a quality song from our release. We decided to give away a download of 'Soldiers Daughter' at no charge, as long as the person receiving it would pass it on to three other people. No strings, no obligations, a free, quality song for your i-Pod, and you help the hospital. Sweet! If even one person later sends a CD, care package, or donation, we've helped. Plus, the CD is awesome.  We selected songs we thought the serving men and women would like; all styles, all beats, all attitudes."
 
Serendipitously, Fisher met Paul Saunders, who could create and handle the technological side of the campaign through his company, PKS Media.  He loved the CD, he thought the idea for raising awareness for the hospital was stunning, and he and Fisher conceived the Pass It On campaign. "If we really want awareness for the hospital fund and the CD, we want friends to tell other friends.  If that happens, along the way, these great warriors will find individuals who want to share with them the things they need, and the CD will reach the audience it strives for," said Saunders.

Fisher continues, "None of us wants war, but we all have total respect for our individual service people. We want to honor them in song and in deed. When someone is wounded on our behalf, there's no way to repay them the worth of that.  We know there's not much we can actively do to help them recover, but to do nothing is unforgivable.  We are a small company, we can't pledge thousands of dollars at a time, but we can sure use our art to spread the word!"

The song, 'Soldiers Daughter' is about a young girl reading her father's letters from the war, discovering him and her own pride through those letters he'd sent. Written by Debbie Iammarino, John Trentes and Reb Robinson, and performed by Robinson, the song is a mixture of rock and singer-songwriter, with a touch of country pop. It appeals across the board.  The lyrics are visual and touching without being saccharine.  The chorus states, "I am a soldier's daughter, that's what I'm most proud to be; I am a soldier's daughter, his living legacy," and the listener is hooked.
 
The CD itself is terrific. From a decorated Vietnam Veteran to the wife of a Ranger serving in Iraq, these writers have presented a realistic variety of views and tempos to inspire and encourage. The album is made up of wonderful visuals and exciting compositions. No schmaltz here, rather a feeling of excitement and pride, rhythms and excellent picture-lyrics. The CD will make you proud to be represented by our troops, and passing on the free song download will make you feel like a hero for helping.
