Boch Rock Facts

Music has always been a real passion in Ernie's life, so when a Boston radio station asked him to write a weekly, one minute, "Rock Fact," he was intrigued by the idea.

When the Boston Herald asked to print it each week, he just couldn't say no.

Now you can sit back, relax and enjoy a compilation of random anecdotes, weird facts and historical moments that helped shape that magical musical mosaic we all call…Rock 'n' roll.

Keep Music in our Schools

Music Drives Us provides grants to individuals and organizations to help keep music in our schools, to help people study music, or enable organizations to provide concerts. Organizational Grants help support academic and community music programs to enrich lives. Musical Performance Grants help fund free musical performances for the community, bringing people together. For people who want to study music, we have Scholarship Grants to help them fund quality music instruction.

Music is a vital part of our daily lives allowing us to express ourselves and connect with others. Music has been known to improve scholastic performance, as well as increase concentration and self awareness. Music improves an individual’s critical analysis skills and their ability to deal with and solve problems, while music therapy has been shown to have a significant effect on an individual’s relaxation and recovery.

We need your help to support music in New England. Many celebrities and performers like Sarah Blacker and Scott Stapp have become music ambassadors, helping us spread our message about the importance of keeping music in our lives. Organizations can participate in our partnership programs to help us with our functions or projects. Not-for-profit organizations work with us as Foundation Partners providing mutual support and assistance.

We have an online store where consumers can buy wonderful merchandise to spread our message. The guitar string bracelets are a favorite. You can also make an online donation to support music in New England.
