What is your story? What connects you with music and why do you volunteer with MOC? I am a mediocre musician but a professional person. As a person I feel my best when I can add a little joy to life’s tea pot. I love to play and sing and if I can do that and bring some joy, my day is complete.

What makes MOC different from your other volunteer experiences? You see the result of your effort immediately.

Has your life changed because of your experience with MOC? Not really, but it adds enrichment.

What is your favorite #MOCmoment? One man, whom the guide said never talks or responds, clapped and said thanks after I played once.
