We can’t use the money to buy And I’m sure you also know that when it comes to either the Gospel or music; but we can and will use it to bringing music to our radio stations around the country share both. Thank you. and around the world, the one depends upon the other. That is, the music depends upon the money. Peace be with you,

In a way, it is strange that money and music have anything to do with each other because anyone who tried to put a dollar fi gure on the worth of music would be ridiculed. The worth of music can’t be measured in A special note from our communications coordinator: dollar amounts. Likewise, nobody tries to teach children “the value of a buck” by comparing it to music.

Money can’t buy grace. It can’t buy forgiveness. It can’t We already know you believe in Sing For Joy as a means buy friendship. As The Song of Solomon puts it, “If to reach out with a meaningful, musical message. As one were to offer for love all the wealth of his house, it an extra incentive, each donor that gives over $120 will receive a spectacular St. Olaf produced CD. Thank you would be utterly scorned!” Indeed. Money can’t buy in advance for your support and for your patience with music either. But it can buy a seat at a concert.
