Seniors Outreach

Seniors Outreach

Many Senior Centers, Assisted Living Facilities and Nursing Homes with limited budgets can still afford top notch musical entertainment. That’s because Spook has drastically reduced his fees for such venues as a way of giving back to a generation that has given so much to our nation and world.  Beside, what’s more soul satisfying than spending an hour sharing Americas favorite songs like “Good Night, Irene,” “Summertime” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” (not to mention a Beetles song or two) with a room ll of people who just love to sing?

“We hosted a wonderful program at the center on Wednesday, October 14th.  Spook Handy visited the center.  He was recommended by a client.  Spook was so kind to give the gentleman a CD to thank him for the referral which I thought was really awesome!

The seniors were singing along to almost every song and Spook took the time to pair stories from historical Americana: The Dust Bowl, Great Depression and more with his music.  He played the guitar and harmonica during the performance, and sometimes he played both at the same time.  My clients loved this program, even joking that I need to keep him on speed dial.  We can’t wait to have him visit us again. “
