Friday Don and James went to James’ music studio at his church to tune a couple pianos. James is wanting to learn how to tune pianos. They ran out of time but Don will come back at the end of August. At 1pm we went to sing at the Life House Care Home. It was the first time the boys sang at a nursing home. There were about 35 to 40 residents there. Don played a lot of songs on the accordion and he and Jordan played a few on the guitar. The room lit up when an elderly gentleman came out to the room we were in. He had a book of hymns and songs (typed in large print). He sang at the top of his lungs and kept requesting more songs. The staff sang along too and seemed to really enjoy the music. They were baking cookies while we were playing and loaded us up with cookies and soda when we left. The staff asked us to please come back again.
After we left there, we went to Guitar Showcase to get a keyboard stand that had broken, had dinner and headed south to Mc Alpine Lake in San Juan Bautista. We camped there and met a Christian Hispanic family across from us- Ruben & Mariviel and their daughter Nathalie. Mariviel is a recording artist and she sang a song for us from her album. She also gave us a copy of her album. We had a great time of fellowship by their campfire. We also met a retired Marine named Max. He sang a song for us called the Baptist Sunday School Chorus. Max was a very interesting fellow just traveling around to all the places he’d never been before.
