The funk hero's initiative will fortify a nonprofit's music studio capabilities and instrument inventory
For Collins, who assembled a 13-person panel of speakers including neurologists, pastors, school board presidents, Garfield Heights Mayor Matt Burke and County Executive Chris Ronayne, the seed of the issue lied in a self-esteem epidemic.
Although the Collins Foundation has not yet donated any funds, Bootsy himself handed"bags" of guitar strings and headphones to the Village on Thursday, after about a two-hour presentation, which featured music by rapper Baby Triggy and Humble G Tha Fiddler. "Bootsy just came in and put steroids on our program," Lane told Scene in a phone call, recalling those initial meetings in March."He's really high on making sure we present a musical platform, and creating a safe haven for those kids who don't have one at home."
"I didn't know [music] was going to become my life. This is just something that makes us feel good, makes the kids and everybody feel good," Collins recalled, sitting on a couch in a Rock Hall green room."So it's like,why I was doing it: to get away from the street thing that we all fell into. And James gave us an opportunity to get out of that."
