Nashville's Musicians on Call one of only charities still able to provide programs directly to patients and caregivers in hospitals

From Vivek J. Tiwary: "Now, thanks to its virtual programs, Musicians On Call is currently one of the only charities in the country still able to provide programs directly to patients and caregivers in hospitals where doors have been closed to visitors and families have been told to stay home to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus." I've said it many times, but Co-Founding MOC with my dear friend Michael Solomon is the thing I am most professionally proud of-- even more so in these turbulent times.
