Music! Music! Music!

Jeff loved music!! He knew all the instruments AND their sounds, so we went to many high school concerts. At weddings and other parties, Jeff mimed playing the instruments, especially the drums. Often he was invited to play drums during intermissions by warm, kind-hearted musicians. He'd put his whole self into the music! If the FLAME Band from Upstate NY had been in existance 20 years ago, I'm positive Jeff and the whole group would have been friends!! The band is made up of people with developmental/physical disabilities, including autism, Down syndrome, mental retardation and blindness. People of all ages and backgrounds connect with this talented band. The feedback they get from parents of children with disabilities is probably the most overwhelming. Parents are often overcome with emotion watching FLAME. FLAME gives them hope that their child can achieve great things and, even more importantly, have a fun, fulfilling life. Their song list contains over 100 classic hit rock, country and blues songs from the past five decades. Their bios and schedule and some videos may be found on www.flametheband.com/ Watch out! You'll be blown away by their website!!
