Hi S,
I am DEEPLY touched by your email, and I will share it with Matt and his family and friends.
I am also very curious about how you learned about this topic, and ended up contacting me... My guess is that it was through:
http://arkady.com/mattmiller.html
or and
http://www.youtube.com/helpmattmiller (455 Views in 11 Days!!!)
Or, maybe it's through a bunch of emails that all of us, Matt's friends, have been sending out, forwarding etc.?! Hey, every bit helps!
The reason YOUR email has touched me is that it is the 1ST ONE from a GROOM whose LIFE Matt has TOUCHED!!! THAT was one of the THEMES in that webpage I made http://arkady.com/mattmiller.html through which I wanted to CONNECT!!!
Call it ROMANTIC, NAÏVE etc., but it's true -- we, as musicians, do TOUCH people's LIVES on a daily basis, even though it's not always obvious (radio, CD's, TV/Movies soundtracks etc)... But, as the weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvah's, even Shule Dinners:) Videos get older, and occasionally get viewed, MEMORIES come ALIVE, and get passed on into the future....
Hopefully MUSICIANS are remembered more than a FOOD:)! And some musicians STAND OUT!!! Our friend, Matt Miller, is an OBVIOUS example of that!
Thank you again, Sam! I am REALLY looking forward to your reply.
Please include your own Matt Miller story -- where, when your wedding was, and whatever else you want to share about yourself... I KNOW your Reply will cheer Matt and his family up BIG TIME!
And of course, if you know anyone else who might be interested in helping, particularly those whose lives were touched by MATT'S MUSIC, please Forward this email to them.... But please remember
THE GOLDEN RULE OF EMAIL: "BCC=Privacy!!!_Fight_Spam!!!"

And if all that was not "dramatic, and romantic enough":), your email came in THE FOURTH OF JULY, which is PARTICULARLY MEANINGFUL to yours truly, New American:)...
So, G-d Bless YOU too, S, and all yours! Happy 4th!!!
Below is the info on how you can help... THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
