“The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called ‘Gitche Gumee’
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy”

You, too, can change the world: you don’t need to play trumpet or dissect a brain
causes, events, music therapyWe all help the world in different ways. I suppose the special skill set I have to offer the universe includes quirky things like dissecting brains with kids, or attempting to rock the minds of adults. I try.
One of my fave causes is Boys & Girls Clubs, for they help young people — especially those who need us most — to become productive, caring, responsible beings.
Last weekend, KD & The Painkillers (a band I perform in) played at a fundraiser for Boys & Girls Clubs of Larimer County.
If you missed the show but would like to change the world by donating to BGCs of Larimer, click here.
Last spring, I dissected a brain with the kiddos at Boys & Girls Club of Cheyenne:
