Music to my ears

I went with my mom to see the Transiberian Orchestra this evening. As always, they put on an AMAZING show. The lights were even better than last time. The show on its own was a blessing but there were other parts that were blessings too. About 3/4 the way through there was a medical emergency in the floor seating section. People were yelling to turn the lights up and one of the performers got on the mic and did the same. I'm not 100% sure what happened but the person was alert when the EMTs rolled him off to the ambulance. The guy that kinda heads up the orchestra (excellent guitarist) stayed out on stage the entire time and watched. As the ill man was rolled off, the place began to clap in support of him. The leader guy then proceeded to ask for prayers for him and they continued the show. I was really touched by his compassion and prayer request. The orchestra was fairly behind at that point but they didn't miss a beat, even though there was another show after ours and at that point they probably wouldn't get a break. Then they took the time to recognize our active troops and veterans. All this after they donate a portion of area ticket sales to a local charity. Not only is their talent and show a blessing, so is their good nature. Overall, they are very impressive people.

I'd also like to share a message from the story they told.  I really liked this.  You can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone
