The beginning of a new year inspires meaningful and encouraging words of advice and I've been jotting them down, searching for wisdom and grace to guide us into the future. One I especially like came from Chelsea Clinton in a recent interview. She said her grandmother always told her life is not about what happens to you but, rather, what you do with what happens to you. It expresses again what one of my favorite arts journalists, Johanna Keller, always advised us, that is, to be pleased but not content with booking the concert, the interview, the review, the broadcast, but to AMPLIFY each event and make even more of whatever happens.  May we all have the courage, energy and a thoughtful moment to take what life hands us in 2012 and amplify what is good and beautiful for the future of the artists we support and the music-making they share.  Happy New Year from Charlotte and the Staff of Colbert Artists Management.
