What a wonderful story! Music is so powerful! I have experienced it in my own way when my mother, who is a stroke patient, called and sang happy birthday to me on my answering machine. Her voice was as strong and clear as ever, and I cherish that memory. I encourage everyone to use music as a way to reconnect, you never know what you can awaken in someone special!

Thank you for your story and words.  I am a solo performer, and I perform a show for adults and children (in schools and theaters) called "The Imagine-a-nation of Lala Child".  In it, a ten year old black girl says, "It's like a garden or a railroad, or the flying machine . . . somebody had to imagine them first, or else none of them could have come to be!"  And she sets out to 'imagine-a-nation where all sorts of loving can grow."  Keep up your good work!
