Kenny Foster - "Hometown" (Extended Version) - OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/hometown-single/id443113107

The song "Hometown" was written by Kenny Foster, a native of Joplin, Missouri, to bring some solidarity between those directly affected by this year's storms, and the nation that stood aghast. It was a way to bring those communities together, no matter the distance, to rebuild stronger communities and stronger people. This song is available for purchase on iTunes with 100% of the proceeds from the sale going directly to the United Way who is working diligently to raise buildings, money, and hope for the people in these areas. Whether you were directly affected by the storms of 2011 or whether you helplessly wept along with them, this song is for you.

@jynxet70 What house were you? I was right on the corner of 23rd!

[flyfisherman1997]

You'll have to come and see the Joplin Jazz Band again. They'd love to see you again!

[jynxet70]

@Mrsmcdowell10 that's where i lived! actually on the 22nd block but right on the corner of 23rd st!! Glad your family made it and sorry for your loss...

[jynxet70]

Kenny, I really love this song. The video is awesome also. But it is also sad for me... what's left of the white two story house in the video is one of my old houses. It's the one i lived in when both of my grand-daughters were born...so it held dear memories for me! But keep up the good work and i will go on sharing it with my friends and family!!!

[Mrsmcdowell10]

This song touched me! My husband was scheduled to leave for basic training for the army the morning following the tornado. Thankfully they delayed it so that he could help our family. We lost a cousin in the storm and I'm so very thankful to be alive. We were at 23rd and Kentucky and my parents lost everything. I just wanted to tell you thank you because songs like this give us hope!

@forgottenmaz ..same here!! So sad. Everything is gone. Nothing is the same. We can't visit our old memories but we can make new ones!

Tornado came out of nowhere, my grandma lost her house where I was always at when I was a kid
