Few questions like ie why do musicians die in abject poverty? Why different record labels go into sudden extinction? Why many musicians have a difficult come back after a long break from music? Why musicians don’t have a Plan B investment plan?
These and many more are yet to get a most convincing answer.Evergreen Music Heritage Foundation is a nonprofit making organization been set up with the intent of finding a solution to many of these disturbing questions.
