A group of us Just got back from Christmas Caroling at the Veterans facility, we had nine guitar players and about 20 singers. What a treat, and an honor, to sing with these guys and gals. Everybody likes live music :D

We even had 2 Guilds in the group, my D-25M and my buddy's leftie J-30 :D

OK, no more gigs for the rest of the year!

Hey Dread,

That is absolutely great :D :D ....I don't think there is anything greater than playing and singing for folks who can't get out and about, or that are down and out....veterans homes, nursing homes, homeless shelters....you always come away feeling like they blessed you more that you did for them. Good for you and the folks that helped you!!

Multiple hats off to you, Dread! :D
This has to be one of the finest programs to come down the pike in a long time! Music as therapy is the best and to put guitars in their hands. Wow!

Good on ya' and then some! :wink:
