This album was written to raise awareness and funding for the homeless and needy. Songs are personal and speak to concerns for the needy. Music is folk, pop with lyrical expression as well as some hard driving guitars and interesting orchestration. ALL PROCEEDS TO ARTIST BENEFIT THINK ABOUT THEM, INC. What Is Think About Them, Inc.? Think About Them, Inc. (TAT) was founded in January 2000 by Baltimore singer/songwriter Bill Dickson. As a non-profit organization, TAT hopes to create a new public awareness and promote compassion for the homeless, hungry and needy in Maryland and throughout the mid-atlantic region. Specifically, rising from the personal experiences of founder Bill Dickson, TAT plans to help change the common understanding of the less fortunate. Ultimately, we believe that when those of us that have, learn how easily others have fallen, we are then better equipped to handle the turmoils that come our way. In the first year TAT coordinated, promoted and preformed five benefit concerts with the goal to promote and collect funds in a co-operative effort with community homeless shelters and food pantries. "Many harmless vagrants are unable to cope with the pressures of the world and do not have the ability to receive the guidance they need and deserve. Our society is so bombarded with images of wealth, beauty, and power. The focus of our media is on being richer, and better than everyone else. With the gift of music I hope to touch people and maybe slow their minds and help them focus on the reason for our God given existence...to love and support each other, regardless of sex, race, class and shortcomings." - Bill Dickson
