Special thanks and praise are in order for Middleburg's Ben Graham, for musician, teacher and therapist Tom Sweitzer, and for Middleburg's Town Council and Staff for their generous, far-sighted, and swift decisions to pursue the establishment of a new music therapy center on South Madison Street.

The project exemplifies the very best of what makes Middleburg a very very very good place to live, and work, and visit.

Graham's generosity and willingness to work with and for town has been extraordinary.

Sweitzer's vision, and his track record, speak for themselves. (A semantically less reticent editor might even say they sing.)

Town Council and Staff succeeded admirably in balancing a keen sense of what's good, with an equally keen sense of their duty to do what's good for the town.
