Ring out the old, pickin` the New…….Year

January 1, 2015

Bluegrass musicians from Eldon and Jefferson City trekked to the Broadway Brewery in Columbia recently to wrap-up the  calendar year and celebrate our fifth anniversary of Sunday jams at the local brewpub hosted by the BRC founder’s band. All tips have been given to benefit our nearby Children`s Hospital, and patrons have generously donated over $6.7K to the Children`s Miracle Network since we first stepped onto the pub`s bandstand in  late 2009.

With the arrival of 2015,  Gainor & Friends  heartfully thanks the microbrewery`s gracious  management, and especially Kenny Duzan,  for the community spirit to give us a weekly venue to continue our perennial support of medical care for needy children in central Missouri,  as we have done since 1995. It`s the Bluegrass Way, folks.

For so many years of faithful and fun-filled performance, the BRC founder says `thank-you` to these splendid and talented musicians. Could anything be more fun than to pick and grin with these guys on a Sunday afternoon?

“Ring out the old,…” from In Memoriam [Ring out, wild bells] by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)

St. Paddy`s Day in the Heartland

March 17, 2013

The BRC founder and his quartet `The G&F Singers` entertained  patients and families on the pediatric ward with a St. Patrick`s Day celebration that included “When Irish Eyes are Smiling.”

Veteran harmony singers, the foursome performed playfully interactive children`s songs with the kids and staff. Shamrock-covered surgeon`s caps sewn by a trio of nurses were distributed to the youngsters and siblings.  As always, the concert concluded with the Carter Family classic “Keep on the Sunny Side of Life.” It was a grand Spring day.
