MFH
is a place where musicians, music lovers and others who are concerned
about the welfare of humanity can contribute to a better world through
music. We can enjoy our music twice, listening,
creating/recording/sharing and again as music and money spent on
music help contribute to worthy causes in the World. We are just getting
started, with our current mission of offering and managing music education scholarships, so please stay tuned...!
Our Story:
In 2001 Kurt Irmiter had an idea to develop a web site where up and coming recording artists could donate a percentage of their CD's, sales to some worthy cause in the world and benefit from the an internationally promoted web site and know their music is helping do good in the world. The idea being this; beyond the listener enjoying the music and the musicians profiting from selling their music, Humanity will also benefit! Each musician will choose the organization/cause
they wish to donate to. That was the idea and it got as far as
the registration of the domain name where you are right now.
Other demands, interests, life... But the idea was still there and
generally thought to be a good one.
Skip forward to 2005 and
Kurt gets a phone call from Barry Adelman, who wants to know if Kurt
would sell him the domain, noticing it has been a few years since it
was registered and there is still
no site! You see Barry is working on the release of his first CD
and wants to donate ALL of the proceeds from CD sales to Humanity and
he has the idea of a web site called musicforhumanity.org! Barry
and Kurt hit it off and found they have some common ideas in terms of
the concept of music benefiting humanity. Well long story short,
we have teamed up to make the idea a reality! Please check back
in the coming months to see what is happening.
