Location: Yucaipa, California | Well, we had our Christmas Program at the Convalescent Home on Saturday... what a blast! Sure made the dear old Folks happy!
Ehren(in White),the daughter of the French Horn player, put it all together (including the costumes)....she even put fleeces on their dogs to emulate sheep!
I know, there are no Ovations :( , and I'm playing banjo :rolleyes: , but it sure was a blessing! :D :D
Go and play a Convalescent Home! It's a hoot!

1) You can reason with a terrorist.
2) Terrorists have sympathizers. |

Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | Guy goes through customs with a banjo case. The inspector nervously asks the man to set the case on the table. Sweating, the inspector uses a long stick to slowly open the case. He sighs a sign of relieve when the contents reveal a machine gun and miscellaneous explosives. "Pass! For a minute there, I thought you had a banjo..." |

The bagpipes burn longer, but the banjo burns hotter. |

In the 4th picture down, you bear a striking resemblance to Carol Channing in "Hello Dolly"!
Seriously, what a wonderful thing to spend time brightening the day of some folks who may not get alot of day brightening. God Bless.

The 4th picture down, are they the three wise men? :confused:
Na can't be, one of them has a banjo. :D
Seriously keep up the good work. Next week I'm singing at a hospital in Knoxville. Part of it is on closed circuit TV.
It's either me or wrestlemania. :D
Maybe the weather channel. Bill Cosby call's The Weather Channel "Mister Rogers Neighborhood for old people." |

Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | Tim, I've had a few laughs at your expense but I think that what you are doing for the older folks is wonderful. It's easy to laugh now (especially since you play banjo! ;) ) but we all (hopefully) are going to be old someday and may wish we had someone to bring a little music and happyness to our life........ |
