We had our annual Christmas show for folks who, many have been picked up from the gutters here in the greater Cleveland area. All of these folks suffer from multiple personalities and schizophrenia and most have NO ONE who cares about them. I come away crying every year. It feels good and hurts at the same time. My wife an me are going at Valentines day to do a Ukulele show for them if they are still there. You see their funding had diminishes and they are just barely hanging on. It costs $1600.00 per month to keep these people and there is only some funding for half of them from the state and that is only half on the 1600. My father in law wrote an appeal and raised enough for 2 months. So sorry to be a downer but this was on my heart and I need to talk.

God Bless you all and Merry Christmas. Doug

I go to a nursing home once in awhile to play with friends. It is always appreciated by the residents. It is hard, but again, you do what you can.

Good job, breaks your heart sometimes.

Love your kids. Take care of yourself. Be happy.

Happy Holidays.
