The month of January is all about music here, and it's incredible how music touches so many of us. Our community is so proud of our music lovers, from the amateur to the professionals. We have residents who love to listen, were regular choir members, accomplished musicians, self-taught instrumentalists, and those who were at the top of their craft. One new resident played piano as a youth, played in his high school marching band, but had felt all along he wanted to learn the drums. Later in life, he had an encounter with a professional jazz musician who took him under his wing. He eventually became a local player in many small groups in the area. Another resident is a famous composer and arranger who continues his work from Juniper Village. As a recording artist and through his collaborations with other artists, he has had 31 GRAMMY nominations (3 times a winner), 3 TONY nominations (winner, 2000 for Kiss Me Kate), 2 drama desk awards, 3 EMMY nominations and 4 CLIO awards. Of course, no one can mistake our little French lady who bursts into song on all occasions! Music does make our world go round!
