The lessons I have learned from these men, singing, sharing, growing a sweet mustache (or not), and growing as a collaborative artist, have forever changed my life. Rare are the places where generations of people gather to create together. In my presentation I will share some of the lessons I have learned from my intergenerational musical journey. Matthew is an amature singer and Oregon native. Matthew Douglass 01/31/2010
