I was privileged to play at the Ronald MacDonald House in Roanoke last night. Thanks to Gary Hunt for hooking me up, and for your other volunteer work. What a great evening!
I didn't know the place existed before getting this gig, even though I've ridden by it on my bicycle several times. I'd heard of the work they do, but had never learned more.
For any other musicians reading this, I would encourage you to contact the house -- I'm sure if you ask for Gary, they'll put you in touch. You'll play in the living room, for a very small and very appreciative audience of people who have a lot on their minds and really need to be distracted for a short while. And it's very nice to just play acoustic -- no amplification of any kind.
I hope I get to do it again.
