I saw Edward Norton on CNN talking about Crowdrise one night and it really hit a nerve within my soul. I have been playing guitar and singing professionally for 45 years, as my passion and as a hobby. My day job has always been in the music industry which has suffered greatly over the last 10 years. A couple of years ago I started volunteering my time singing for veterans at the Los Angeles Veterans Hospital and more recently started playing at the Jewish Home for the Aging. I love the interaction I have with the elderly patients, most of them never get out of their surroundings, and they love to sing, clap, hum and just enjoy the music of their generation. I have decided to try to spend the rest of my life on this path, making people happy with my guitar, voice and vast repertoire of songs. It is as rewarding for me as it is for them.
I recently caught the attention of the family of the biggest car dealer ship in Los Angeles, Galpin Ford, who have decided to help support my cause which I am truly greatful. I am going to attempt to use crowdrise to raise money to help support my efforts to add more institutions to my schedule. If you have any questions or would like to speak to me in person, dont hesitate to e mail me or call me. God bless you and god bless crowdrise.
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:
I might not be the best Volunteer or Fundraiser but I'm decent at it and I can't think of a downside of throwing a vote my way.
