Erik puts Good Karma Points in the Bank at Senior Home!!!

Erik had an impromtu show today at the Alta Vista Manor Senior Home in Vista. We had gone up to see his Grandparents who live there and I made sure he brought his guitar & Uke. The piano they had was too far out of tune for him to construct any good music, but once he started playing his guitar the activity room filled with 15 or so people and he entertained them for about 30 min. There were lots of smiles and some very proud Grandparents. He did a fanstastic job with a tough crowd and I promised next time I would bring my bass and we would take it up a notch or two.
Making older folks smile is major "Good Karma Points" in the bank!!!
Great job Erik!
