On February 22, 1986, the Coalition for Disabled Musicians, Inc. (a  self-help non-profit organization) was formed. CDM was designed to:

  • Introduce disabled musicians to each other who have an understanding of disability-related problems.
  • Give access to an accessible rehearsal and recording studio.
  • Create “tag-team” systems and other adaptive techniques for pain, endurance, and other limitations.
  • Set up studio and stage bands for amateurs and professionals.
  • Hold live performances, produce recordings, and hold music workshops and seminars.
  • Promote public awareness of the disabled community as a great reservoir of talent and ability.

FINDING NEW HOMES FOR INSTRUMENTS:
     In addition to our local music endeavors and our internet involvement, we are happy to announce that we recently assisted a disabled musician who lives in Tennessee.  In addition to his disabling condition, he is also still displaced by the tragic hurricane Katrina.  When his electric guitar was recently shorted out, and with no funds to replace or repair it, he contacted us for help.  Luckily, we were able to turn to a small pool of donated instruments in our studio, found a suitable replacement for him, and shipped it right down to him.  He is extremely happy to be fulfilling his dream and playing again. Copies of his correspondence with CDM can be found on our Fan Mail page.
