Dave Miller: Meaningful peace in the "Holy Land."

Jeff Bjorck: I wish for REAL peace in Israel and Gaza and an end to ALL terrorism and bigotry. & I wish for an end to our extremely polarized, reactive versus logical, and generally angry society in exchange for civility, reason, and compassion.

Fiona Joy Hawkins: My wish is for the return of Peace between Israel and Gaza, Ukraine and Russian and the fighting in Myanmar on the Chinese border. We have come so far and yet still plagued by war.  We keep taking the past with us into the future and I pray for this to stop.

Tim Neumark: 1) More music.

2) That aliens come to visit us in 2024 to save us from ourselves.

Sang Le: 1. Politicians would magically to be honest and confess publicly of their thirst for taxation every time they write up a stupid law to increase tax revenues but pretend to be for the "safety" of the people.  For example, CA has law in the name of "safety" that all TPMS sensors must be serviced by tire shops whenever a new tire is put on a wheel.  A tire shop can charge a customer up to $60 additionally just to check the TPMS sensors, which are basically a luxury feature, nothing else done!  But that cost on the customer is a tax revenue for politicians' endless spendings.  There are cars out there without TPMS sensors, and they are as safe as they can be.

2. I wish the American people would start standing up more  with resistance and demands for what we believe in and not simply take quietly and silently, therefore, submissively, at whatever is thrown at the American people by corrupt politicians and greedy corporations.

Igor Lisul: My wishes is world peace (as my latest album has been titled as well) and global spiritual awakening of the humanity.

Marlene Martin: Kindness rocks !!!

Greg Maroney: 1.  That people would realize that the atoms that make up each of us are from the same universe, and to stop using religion or borders to think they are different from each other.  We are of the earth, when we hurt her we hurt ourselves.

2.  All musicians would be successful and get millions of spins on all streaming platforms.

Beverly Ritz: To continue to find audiences for the music I play.

To have good health so I can have a full life and continue to play piano and write and record music.

Isadar: Wish #1: I wish everyone a fantastic Holiday season with their friends, families, and loved ones.

Wish #2: That Artificial Intelligence isn't the beginning of a swift annihilation of humankind.

Suzanne Ciani: I wish for better understanding of viewpoints that diverge from mine. 

I wish for a two-state solution. 

David Glass: I’m sure my first wish for world peace resonates with all other group members, and my continuing desire for good health and happiness among my family, friends, and students. 

I wish for a time that independent musicians are better compensated through digital streaming.

Craig Urquhart: I wish that our discorded world will be able to embrace the true harmony that brings us together.

Jonathan Sprout: I wish for peace on Earth. I wish for more love and gratitude for the gifts of life.

Marcia Wells: 1. I wish for my fellow musicians to continue to spread love, peace and hope through music during the holiday season and upcoming new year.

2. I wish for more smiles and laughter and less stress :) 

Justin Levitt: Wishing you all the best health and happiness! 

Louis Landon: 1. The Golden Rule practiced by all humans all of the time.

2. World Peace

Terry Lee Nichols: 1. Let’s work together to protect our planet.  Without it, we have no place upon which to make a wish.

2.  Never before have we had a president who schemed to overturn legitimate election results, who attacked the press and the civil servants who worked for him, who admired dictators, who blatantly profited from his public office and who repeatedly lied to the public for his own selfish purposes. But while Trump’s four years of rhetoric have been a shock to democratic norms, did they inflict permanent damage on our democracy? My answer is a qualified no. The guardrails of democracy held. The institutions designed to check autocracy are intact.
My wish is that the good people of our country continue to say NO!  2024 may well determine the future for our children!

Michael Hoppe: Gratitude, endless gratitude.

Earl Johnson: 1) That human beings one day learn to come together as one people, united and strengthened by our differences, not divided because of them.

2) Continued inspiration for more piano music and more piano compositions!

Michael Dulin: 1. Simplicity.

2. A world free of anger, hatred and violence.

Gary Schmidt: 1) For more unity in our country. Sure wish we could all bridge the divide some with some compassionate listening:)

2) And of course for ceasing of war and violence.

Ron Brush: My only 2 wishes are health for my family & a bit of peace in the world.

Richard Carr: 1) I wish that the music we, as artists, create, finds the ears of those who need it and inspires them to a beautiful year.

2) I wish excellent health and a most creative year for the entire genre from the artists to the publicists, the radio programmers, and the reviewers. 

Dan Kennedy: 1 Peace

2 Continued freedom from the things that try to hold us back, such as alcohol and mood issues.

Dianne Saito: Peace throughout the world and an end to all types of discrimination.

Of course, I wish for everyone to have a safe and wonderful Christmas.

Bernward Koch: 1: I want people to think about what they want to do before acting in a negative direction, especially in situations in which revenge, hatred, war, violence, etc. (Unfortunately we have several wars in the world again ...). No matter how difficult it is, you should always consider the consequences, the consequences of a thing. At some point the circulation of violence must be interrupted to start a fresh start without violence. Even if this seems impossible, it starts with a thought.

2: Another wish is that what we do, namely music, ourselves and thus also helps people to stay human. Because music is a wonderful world in itself.

Ralph Zurmuhle: My first wish is for all of humanity to realize that we are in this together, and that in moments of conflict no decision, action or judgment should be made until we are able to put ourselves in the shoes of the other.

My second wish is that no matter how hopeless things seem, we are able to maintain a state of innocence and reverence, that will guide us and raise our souls above the storm.

Gordon Murray: I haven't got a unique wish; just wishing for what we all wish for: Peace & love, and a happy and fulfilling life for everyone.

Ed Bazel: My wish is that people suffering from cancer and chemotherapy treatments will benefit from The River of Calm Headphones for Chemotherapy project. We partnered with the Sundance Film Festival-winning Alive Inside to present headphones filled with calming music from the Artists on The River of Calm. We will donate 1,000 of these headphones to cancer centers nationwide. We need your support!

Lisa Irwin Linsky: I wish for continued inspiration for all my musician friends so they can keep creating and sharing their much needed and appreciated beautiful music.

Suzanne Doucet: Peace on Earth.

Darla Bower: Health and peace.

Paul Long: I wish the war in Ukraine and the Israelis/Palestinians conflict ends soon.

Adam Andrews: I wish that piano keys would come in color. Black and white? Really? It’s almost 2024!

And I wish to be off of Santa’s naughty list just once.

Janine De Lorenzo: More music to share with the world because music can often say more than words…

Doug Hammer: 1. No more wishes.

2. Action.

Jane Leslie: Peace, kindness, and enjoyment of music for everyone.

Kathy Parsons: I wish that people would look more closely at what we have in common and build on that rather than what can tear us apart.

This is a very heartfelt and inspiring list of wishes and hopes, and I hope that they all come true (except maybe the colored piano keys! HoHoHo!).

Eric Chapelle: I wish that there's a piano in every home for everyone in the family to use!

The second wish is- I wish that we can love one another unconditionally no matter where and how we are!

Carol Nicodemi: 2024 is a fresh start; let it be a peaceful one. Creative, motivational, self-affirming. loving, and healthy - in body and spirit...
