Fantastic.
I wish there were more people like this.
Well not at deaths door part, but more people that put their money to the "arts" for children.

this is really moving, thats the direction we chould be heading to, awesome!

Oh my. Wow. That's amazing! What a blessed soul.

That story made me want to cry.

Oh, right. PMS.

I heard on the radio yesterday about a guy in New Orleans, whose name I unfortunately cannot remember, but who started a marching band organization called Roots of Music, focusing on getting at-risk kids off the streets and doing something positive. The band has 70 members, but a waiting list of 400. All of the instruments are donated. The guy was being interviewed on the radio, and he says he wishes he could have places for everyone, but the funding just isn't there. He said he has one 7-year-old who calls him every day, wanting to be in the band. He also said that before they get to play, they have to hit the books and keep their grades up. It was a really positive and moving story, which is why this story made me think of it.

Wonderful story, really.

Although the thought of thirteen thousand children with harmonicas did give me the creeping horrors for a moment.

It's hardly cheating death.

And I'd almost guarantee that he WOULD be dead now if he'd stayed on the meds from the inevitable toxicity 15 different medications would cause.

Yet more proof Doctor's and Pharmaceutical companies are not the all knowing gods people seem to think they are.

A truly great story. What a wonderful man!
