of "Body and Soul," a free forum for
seniors involving Music and Health.
Stella Shumate organized the forum
as well as provided the refreshments
on what turned out to be a
challenging winter driving morning in
Michigan.
Brian Sampson discussed Keyboard
Playing and Arthritis as well as some
do's and don'ts to reduce the stress in
your hands and arms while practicing
and playing the piano or organ.
Martha Gordon and Stella Shumate
distributed handouts on the topics of
Nutrition and Mental Awareness.
Leslie George, a licensed massage
therapist was on "hand" to
demonstrate to several of the seniors
the benefits of massage therapy.
Leslie's company "Stress Knot -
Massage Therapy" is located inside
Dance Dynamics on Maple Road in
Walled Lake. It was obvious by the
comments that her company slogan
"Take a Break and Rejuvenate!" is
true.
The morning was capped off by
keyboard artist extraordinaire Pierre
Fracalanza playing a mini concert on
the Roland AT-90SL. This top-of
the-line instrument features
hundreds of sounds and styles,
offering an almost unlimited variety
of musical possibilities.
Pierres' musical talent and whimsical
banter made for an uplifting ray of
sunshine on an otherwise snowy
Michigan morning.
