"The Boston Minstrels were here tonight from 7 pm until 10. What an awesome night was had by All! The guests were dancing and singing. Each of the guys were taking turns playing instruments while saying Words of Gratitude about Family and Especially the Tragedy that has effected us all since Marathon Monday. One Guest in particular kept chanting” Pine Street Strong”…..It was great to see our guests so content and happy singing and praising just for today! One of our guests sat crying in his wheelchair playing a small drum but crying tears of happiness. A few sang solos as well as two and three in groups picked their own songs. I wish we had permission to take photos to capture our guests in their happy times. The Group ended forming a large circle of friends new and old holding hands with a final song. I look forward to The Boston Minstrels returning. Thank You"
