Thank you, so much, for your kind words and encouragement, Silent Jim! I am sincerely honored by your openly expressed appreciation and understanding for my earnest efforts of giving back. Today began a new direction for the "Tour of Smiles" whereby I have now become a team member of the region's hospice, as a special entertainer and "smile therapist" for patients who are in their end of life. No greater use for these cool one-stringed instruments could ever be, than as effective tools to help put the last smiles on those faces who deserve to smile the most...
