| Susan Schwandt as well as others from H.A.P. presented a power point slide show on the changes in prescription drug coverage and health care coverage for seniors. These changes are coming fast and furious. The latest changes are with plan "D" which may effect most of those who were in attendance. It comes as no surprise that there are MANY choices, and it is sometimes confusing to seniors as they try to manage their health care needs. The folks from HAP made it simpler, and were able to answer any and all questions that came from the group. Their presentation was easy to follow and well organized. Speaking to getting "organ . . ized" Following the presentation from HAP was a mini organ concert by famous organist Lance Luce. Even though Lance is on staff at Hammell Music as the Church Organ Consultant, his background is as a theatre organist. He first demonstrated how the Roland AT-90 could sound like a theatre organ, such as the organs at the Redford Theatre or the Fox. The warbling Tibias and glockenspiel accents were everywhere. Next, Luce turned the Roland into a "Hammond" organ, explaining a bit of the history of the Hammond organ and the rotating Leslie speaker. If you closed your eyes, you might have been transported back in time or to another place. Lance finished the "tour of the organ" showing how it could emulate a church pipe organ by playing a medley of Amazing Grace and How Great Thou Art, and then turned the organ into a Latin combo for Spanish Eyes. For Lance's finale, he played a Boogie selection, and converted the organ, mid-song, from a theatre style to a Hammond type. This caused long time member Bernie, to leave his seat, and strike up a dance with the staff from HAP. Maybe music is right up there with laughter as good medicine? |
