Tony Dickinson: "I really had a blast with these guys putting it together, and there couldn't have been a better reason to do it. 'Listen To The Music' is one of those songs you listen to once and it makes you feel like you can conquer the world. Just like the way that Dave made other people feel. Big credit to Dustin Brayley for the song choice and organizing the project. Stick around at the end for a bonus message from yours truly about the Dave Z Foundation. Spread the word. Spread the love!"

About the David Z Foundation:

The David Z Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that raises money for music education in memory of David Zablidowsky.

"Our mission is to provide young aspiring musicians the proper tools needed to succeed in the industry on a professional and sustainable level. To help accomplish this, we have created the David Z Modern Musician program: an original music curriculum composed of three parts: individual instruction (The Lessons), group performance (The Band) and an industry/business class (The Workshop). The program runs for a full school year and ends with a live performance showcase. The money we raise goes towards maintaining the program year round and offering scholarships to students to off set the cost of tuition. So far we have run the program two years in a row at the Brooklyn College prep Center which focuses on students ages 3-18. The goal this year is to start a DZMM program in LA as well and have them running on both coasts."
