They bring our images and our spirits together to acknowledge one another and to keep our love of music alive. If \u201cWe\u2019re still here!\u201d is all it does, we\u2019ll keep doing it until there are better options once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I\u2019ll wish you, yet again, as musical a year as possible in 2021. May we be together in person by the time this new year is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/amateurmusic.org\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/AULD_LANG_SYNE-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5188\" width=\"440\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amateurmusic.org\/coda\/wp-content\/uploads\/AULD_LANG_SYNE-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/amateurmusic.org\/coda\/wp-content\/uploads\/AULD_LANG_SYNE-768x1014.jpg 768w, https:\/\/amateurmusic.org\/coda\/wp-content\/uploads\/AULD_LANG_SYNE-1164x1536.jpg 1164w, https:\/\/amateurmusic.org\/coda\/wp-content\/uploads\/AULD_LANG_SYNE-1552x2048.jpg 1552w, https:\/\/amateurmusic.org\/coda\/wp-content\/uploads\/AULD_LANG_SYNE-scaled.jpg 1940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is by AMN founder Lolly Lewis.
