About the music2work2 Blog

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

The music2work2 blog covers the following:

- New music from music2work2
- Music from artists similar to music2work2
- Music from artists that we just dig
- The occasional Movie or Media review
- Various random musings that might just barely relate to music in some way or another.

The blog is written by Andrew McCluskey and Charlotte Mecum, we’ve been working together since 2001 when we met at the Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation.  Andrew writes the music, Charlotte handles the marketing and between the two of us music2work2 has come alive. Neither of us could do this without the other and we have a lot of fun along the way. Individual bio’s can be found below.

Andrew - Music Composition

The first visual memory I have is that of the white upright piano in Singapore (the one my Father ultimately took an Axe to.) Hell and the dark forces lived at the bottom, Heaven and the Angels at the top. They would play battles through my fingers and I was hooked.

If you know me, you know that I play the piano, it’s just something I do: in people’s houses, bars, shows, etc. I take one with me and am a shadow of myself when I do not play for extended periods.

music2work2 is the product of my passion for the piano, for the keyboard, for music. I believe that listening to music is “good for you,” like air, food and sex.

I know that music helps me think, create and write, I find that it keeps me in the moment and helps me to concentrate. My hope is that it has a similar effect on others.

Charlotte - Marketing

I don’t have a musical bone in my body but I do really enjoy listening to music of all kinds.  Growing up, the radio or stereo was always on in my parent’s house; my father, sister and brother all had musical abilities. My life with EDS has involved many surgeries and long periods of recuperation; listening to music helped make the time go by and was soothing to me.

Andrew and I first met at EDNF when I was a Board Director and Director of Local Groups.  We worked together to build one of the first patient advocacy online communities and found that regardless of geography, we worked very well together.  When Andrew began to develop Music2Work2, he asked if I would be interested in marketing the project.  I shared his belief that music is good for you - that music benefits people in so many ways, and was happy to help.

Being involved with music2work2 has opened areas of technology and learning for me that I would never have expected to come to at this late date in my life.  I am having a great time learning new skills, listening to new artists and helping to spread beautiful music to people everywhere.
