What a riot. Our last performance at Canyon Rim Care Center through Heart & Soul was so full of joy and energy. All I could do beyond our collective singing was do nothing but smile.

My memories of Hardin go way back to the Pub in Trolley Square and a loyal following of the Jordan River Uptown Band.

Thank You Everyone for Music Stroll 2017!
Heart & Soul in partnership with the Imperial Neighborhood Park Association hosted its sixth annual Heart & Soul Music Stroll on June 10th this year. We featured 44 bands playing on lawns and porches to over 3,000 in attendance. This community activity of music on front porches is a great way to share our mission of the healing power of music with all of you.

Attend a Heart & Soul Show
The other day, I did something I’ve never done before—I attended a Heart & Soul show.
I’ve played in a lot of Heart & Soul shows—about a hundred, over the years. I’ve lugged my upright bass to nursing homes and rehab facilities and even the State Prison, and I’ve had a great time doing it. Now I’m on the board of Heart & Soul, and I volunteered to write this letter. I thought it would be easy to tell you, from my own personal experience, about “the healing power of music.” But then I worried: what do I really know about it? I’ve read about it, and I’ve seen videos of practically vegetative patients coming to life with earphones on—but my own personal experience of Heart & Soul is that it’s fun. I’m up there propping up my big, awkward instrument, trying to play in tune, listening to my bandmates, trading smiles with the residents who’ve come to hear, and it’s a great time. Now, seriously, who’s going to donate money just so that I can have a great time Give Now-->
So I went to somebody else’s show.
