Every mid December for the last 10 years or so, the BRC founder`s band has performed Yuletide tunes for the in-patients on the adult and children`s psychiatric ward at the University Hospital. The staff enjoys the festive sing-a-longs as much as the patients. After the gig, the band pauses for a yearly photo in the lobby of the mental health center in front of the Christmas tree.
A few days later each Holiday Season, a trio of vocalists joins the BRC founder for a similar songfest at the Children`s Hospital on the other side of town. In the pediatric ward playroom and at the children`s bedsides, parents and siblings join us in singing familiar Holiday tunes. The staff concludes the performance with a photo of the choral group.
Let there be Peace on our Earth and all Blessings to these generous musicians and singers in 2017.
But, it`s mostly mighty good fun and fellowship, and the BRC founder thanks his band “Gainor & Friends” for over 20 years of pickin` and grinnin` to benefit the Children`s Hospital. Since 1995, this ensemble of musicians has donated over $17K in gig tips and fees to the Children`s Miracle Network.
