News from the Nest
I borrowed this graphic from Aluna Joy's newsletter, isn't it beauteous?
June 2008: Please welcome the newest member of the Silver Nightingale family, my brand new baby Blog! I hope you will visit, sign up for the feed, and add your comments!
March 2008: Those of you on my e-mail list recently received a request to help me attend the Society for the Arts in Healthcare Annual National Conference, being held this year in Philadelphia, by making donations towards my conference fees. I was going to post the request here as well, but you all responded so quickly and so generously, that I have raised not only the conference fees, but also some additional funds, which will be used to provide musical visits for hospital patients here in South Florida! Thank you so much for your warm-hearted support for my work! If you would like to support musical visits for hospital patients with a donation, please contact me for additional information!
January 2008: For the fifth year, the kind folks at Unitarian Universalist Church of Fort Lauderdale have provided funding for my hospice music program, conducted with the support of Hospice of Gold Coast at North Broward Medical Center. This year the funding source is the Thelma Daniel/Annette Van Howe Social Justice Fund. I/We are so honored to receive support in the name of these two remarkable women! I had the opportunity to play at the induction ceremony when Annette was inducted into the Broward County Women's History Coalition Hall of Fame some years ago, so this is especially meaningful.... Thank you UU!
July, 2007 - Summertime, and the living is easy.... I hope you are enjoying summer, wherever you may be! Here in South Florida, we're lucky, 'cause summer lasts a lot longer here than other places. Of course, if we allow global warming to get worse, a lot more people are going to have a lot more summer! Maybe not so lucky.... I've been thinking about (and taking action on) a lot of environmental subjects this summer, and have a lot of green thoughts to share with you. Watch for my next newsletter, coming soon! To receive my lovely newsletters, please click here and let me know!
February 2007: I've been playing at Holy Cross Hospital for 5 months now and it's going great! Everyone there has been so welcoming and enthusiastic about the music! I play all over the hospital, and for special events, and often visit the Infusion Center (where people receive chemotherapy and other treatments), the Nursery and NICU, the Chapel, the front lobby (which has high ceilings, lots of marble and great acoustics!) and anywhere there are people to play for. I am inordinately proud of my two hospital badges and absolutely love wearing them!
My musical work at North Broward Medical Center, where I have played for almost four years now, continues to be very satisfying, and I have been privileged to play for thousands of patients, family members and staff during that time. I am very grateful to have work which brings so much joy and comfort to others (and to me too)!
For the fourth year, the kind folks at Unitarian Universalist Church of Fort Lauderdale's Endowment Fund have renewed their funding for my hospice music program, conducted with the support of Hospice of Gold Coast at North Broward Medical Center. Thank you UU!
I'm currently working with Hospice of Gold Coast to secure funding to play at Broward General Medical Center's Hospice Unit as well. I'll keep you posted! All funding opportunities and suggestions greatly appreciated!
I'm also working on a comprehensive page about my Hospice and Arts in Healthcare work (and other wonderful work being done in this field around the world). People are always asking me lots of questions about this work, so I decided to make the info available here. This page will be posted as soon as I get it done, it's kind of massive! Stay tuned!
September 25, 2006: I am VERY excited to announce that, in addition to playing regularly at North Broward Medical Center, I will also be playing regularly for patients, visitors and event attendees at Holy Cross Hospital! Details TBA....
August 9, 2006: In conjunction with the Nature, Nukes and Nationalism show tomorrow, I have created a Nuclear Free Zone right here on my website! Please visit any time to learn more about nuclear and environmental issues, and find ways to make our world a better and safer place for ALL who live here!
June 25, 2006: Dear Friends, Happy Summer Solstice! I have just seen the movie "An Inconvenient Truth", and I urge you to see it as soon as possible! And take your friends with you! I believe this could, should, and hopefully will be one of the transformative documents of our time - a turning point in the consciousness of our country - and potentially the rescue of our beloved Planet Earth from the impending doom of Global Warming. For more on this subject, I invite you to attend "Nature, Nukes and Nationalism" - a music and poetry Literary Salon I will be performing in - August 10, 2006 at the Luna Star Cafe.
"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world."
Oscar Wilde
December 5, 2006 - An Inconvenient Update: The DVD of "An Inconvenient Truth" sold over a million copies in its first week! Al Gore is donating 100% of his profits from this film to the cause, so get your copy now and share it with all your friends!
December 11, 2005: For the third year, the kind folks at Unitarian Universalist Church of Fort Lauderdale's Endowment Fund have renewed their funding for my hospice music program, conducted with the support of Hospice of Gold Coast at North Broward Medical Center. Thank you UU!
September 13, 2005: I've compiled a special page of groups around the country providing aid and support to displaced New Orleans musicians. Click here for my photos of Old New Orleans and articles about exactly who did anticipate the breach of the levees. And I'm happy to report that we raised $7127 for the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund at our September 10 benefit at Main Street Cafe! Had lots of fun too!!
August 31, 2005: As you may know, I lived in New Orleans for a while, and have always felt a special connection to the city. So the news from New Orleans has left me very sad and angry. If you're feeling that way too, I suggest you read my Open Letter on grief recovery written after September 11, it's very relevant now....
and see my schedule for info on a September 10 benefit for hurricane victims.
