It was a beautiful evening ...

Thank you to everyone who came out for Harmony and Hope: A musical celebration to recognize our patients and their families.  

It's nice to take the time to enjoy a little piece of beauty in our day to day lives. We so enjoyed seeing you.

Of course the highlights were probably our performing doctors!

Please pardon the shaky camera, we were filming from the floor, without a tripod. But we think this song is really very pretty and best appreciated with your eyes closed.



If you haven't met Dr. Robertson he's the handsome gentleman on the far left.



But there was also dancing!



We can't say thank you enough to Andrea Beaton & Glenn Graham, Cape Breton fiddlers we convinced to come perform for us even though they're really here for a big performance at Benaroya Hall this next weekend.

And unfortunately the video we took of local treasure, Colin Gemmell, bagpiper extraordinaire didn't turn out (we're not professional videographers, if you hadn't already noticed, and the sound was just terrible, didn't do the pipes justice at all!) But he was just lovely, along with Dr. Lechner's wife who is also a piper.

Did you get a chance to join us? Did you enjoy the event? Would you like to see more of these in the future? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

That was amazing fiddling and piping. What a treat--the food was good, too. Please have more events like this. I especially appreciated the songs sung by the men. We cannot forget the spiritual side of our journey. You need to do this more than once a year!
