Tom Carter (9.29.11, Asheville, NC)

My sister and I live in a gorgeous valley east of Asheville, NC, The house she rents rests within 40 acres of pasture land formerly used for cattle. It's been a year and a half, but a new set of ranchers has decided to raise their cattle on the land. And that means new fences and cutting the fields back down again.

While watching & videotaping the process, this kind gentleman named Tom Carter approached me, and told me that he could sing. So, I figured while I had the camera in hand, I would tape him singing. He was a super nice guy with a sweet disposition on life. It was my pleasure to do a little something for him and put him on YouTube.

I met Kay the other day while on a walk in the 'hood. She filled me in on the details. It's very kind & sweet what he does. I hope your father is doing ok. :)

Mr. Carter sings at my father's nursing home. His music moves people who can no longer communicate with others through words. My family and I are grateful for Tom's visits and the joy he brings into Daddy's life.
