Aretas Culver Headstone Dedication & Concert. A personal journey of family discovery that began at Christmas 2014, when I "met" my 3-times-great grandfather face to face on my computer, comes to a fitting close on Veteran's Day weekend in Bristol, Connecticut. On Sunday Nov. 10 family, friends, veterans and the general public will gather at 1pm at West Cemetery in Bristol CT for a dedication ceremony for his new VA-issue headstone. That will be followed by a concert at 6pm at the Bristol Historical Society, along with my dad on keyboards for part of the show.
Writing Songs with Vets in Recovery, Part 2. Andrew is thrilled and honored to join renowned singer/songwriter Mack Bailey and his Music Therapy of the Rockies program this weekend in Maryland, in partnership with Madison Fields and the Wounded Warrior Project. Since 2014 Mack has been helping veterans using music and mindfulness in dealing with post-traumatic stress by helping reframe their stories, learning how to rewire brains, and in doing so, saving lives. The vets will work with Mack, music therapists and fellow songwriters Jen & Scott Smith (Naked Blue), Tom Prasada-Rao, Lea, and Michelle Swan with the goal of each vet co-writing a song. We hope to have songs to share with you in the days ahead, as we did after the May retreat.
