One of my students wrote this poem for his girlfriend and asked me to set it to music for him.

I have been working with the children at Brenner's Children's Hospital for 7 years now and it has been an incredible journey of the heart and soul for me. I get to walk around the 9th floor with a cart full of drums, guitars and shakers, teach guitar and drum lessons and often just jam with the kids. We jam in their hospital rooms where they are receiving chemotherapy, in the hallways and in the waiting area lobbies. It's amazing to watch children's and parents' faces transform into smiles as they engage in music.
I recently completed a CD of children's music for AFL. The album is called "Like a Diamond in the Sky", and has many of the songs that I play and sing with the kids andparents. I am very thankful to be a part of this great organization!
