A breakthrough....

getting the weekly phone call from my mom and her telling me one of the dogs landed in the hot tub after trying to catch a tossed football.

I met a wonderful man in the park while we were both walking our dogs....

We got to talking as is the custom here...and he told me about a hole in the wall type place to hear bluegrass...

Well, I went there tonight...and heard the most wonderful bluegrass ever

While I was there I noticed some kids milling around with the other musicians..turns out they are three brothers who play together...aged about 7-14. They played so beautifully..it's touching to see that traditions are cared about here...even by the young.

It was a magical night for me.... I am one grateful girl...

This YouTube Flashwaltzed Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers
 

Forty students from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance took a classical approach to the flashmob as they flashwaltzed Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers at the new Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower in Jerusalem. Doctors, patients and passers-by joined in the fun.

The surprise concert was part of Good Deeds Day, an annual event that originated in Israel in 2007 and now takes place in over 50 countries worldwide. On this day volunteers reach out to the less fortunate and the vulnerable.

The Academy students enjoyed the day so much that they have decided to schedule regular concerts at the hospital. Hadassah Medical Organization treats over one million patients annually, without regard to race, religion or national origin.
