Yeah, it was a space in time; I didn't even know this photo existed until they flashed it up on the screen at Mary's funeral. But I certainly remember when it happened. I couldn't have possibly staged this photo; it just happened spontaneously.

How is the current situation affecting you and organizations like Senior Neighbors?

I saw this today, and it made me reflect on how the whole landscape for providing music to folks in retirement and assisted living facilities will be affected. For years, my buddy and I have played at such communities at least once each month. Just the other day, we were talking about the harsh reality of how that is probably going to be changed for a long time into the forseeable future.

What are you hearing and seeing with regard to your networking with the facilities you network with?

 

[dreadnut]

We're hoping to get back into visiting the facilities in September. We normally take the summer months off anyway, so hopefully we can resume our normally scheduled programming in the fall.

Here's that photo of me and Mary:

Haha - the first time I met Mary, I was playing and singing for her birthday party at her Adult Foster Care home. When I started playing, she started shrieking and screaming at the top of her lungs. I stopped because I thought it annoyed her; they told me "No, that's how she expresses joy and excitement."
