This past year I've been honored to play for Bread and Roses at hospitals and preschools, and had a particularly touching gig yesterday at UCSF Children's Hospital. A man was there the whole time holding his two-year-old son and started doing hand motions. When he sang "the daddy on the bus says 'I love you'"...it was so sweet and tender. Another little boy in his tykes car beeped his horn to "Wheels on the Bus." His mom said how happy he was to be in the room singing as he had been kept in bed for two weeks earlier.
On April 21st I'll be returning for the third time to the Tenderloin Childcare Center in SF. If any of you wonderful musicians are ever interested in performing for groups of all ages who are living/staying in institutions, please give Bread and Roses a call...they are looking for performers and facilitators and your life will be the better for it.
