Eastco Pro Media CEO releases Song in
response to attack on America
Holt Vaughn, CEO for Eastco Pro Media Corporation,
in response to the recent tragic events in
the United States, has released a web version
of his original composition, "Twin Towers
(Song for America)".
"People
everywhere wondered how to respond to a horrible
ordeal such as this" says Vaughn. People want
to help, to offer comfort and aid. Our company
is filled with artists, so this is the way
we've chosen to respond. Most people say that
music is a powerful and therapeutic tool.
We hope the song will be a blessing to people,
and that they will identify with and be touched
by this music."
The style of music is new classic rock. The
lyrical message is tender, but also a bit
defiant, reflecting the mood of a nation dealing
with the terrorist attacks on America. "What
our country is going through really hurts,
but on the other hand - we're tough. We're
resilient. These are the qualities of character
this song celebrates". The project involved
many Eastco employees, utilizing their musical
talents and engineering, graphics and web
development, as well as production and office
help.
Eastco Pro Media Corporation has prepared
web-based material by such popular recording
artists as Whitney Houston, Bob Dylan and
others. The company will provide free copies
of Mr. Vaughn's song through a new website,
which is being launched by Eastco Pro (www.songforamerica.com).
The website will have links to other sites
of similar interest, including a link to help
people participate in assisting with relief
efforts.
Proceeds from CD sales were donated to the Salvation Army.
