    About this ebook

    This is a collection of funny and inspiring stories from some of my rest home singalongs.

    To play these gigs has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. Audrey's Angels in Phoenix, Arizona provided me with the opportunity to entertain the elderly living in nursing homes in the metro Phoenix area. For this, I will always be grateful.

    These nursing home residents have spent their lives as productive contributors to our society. Many have been wealthy and influential. Many have raised families and sacrificed much for others. Now, near the end of life, they are confined by various infirmities and their lives seem somehow "smaller."

    It is with great joy and humility that I serve these wonderful people.
