Trainer Gary Allegretto and Harmonikids

Gary Allegretto, AKA, the gorgeous saint, is a founding director of Harmonikids, his non-profit charity organization that brings music, specifically, harmonicas and lessons to children in crises.  This photo is from a recent Harmonikids session in Houston’s Texas Children’s Hospital where a child died from the fearsome swine flu recently. As a result of the flu concerns, many programs for children there have been cancelled. When they asked if I wanted to cancel as well… of course Gary said no.

As you can see, they all had a great time and the kids were delighted with their new found talent!

The joy of music… is just under a child’s nose.

“I am heartily supportive of Harmonikids… we have seen the power of music in transforming young lives. Gary Allegretto and his work are most worthy of support.” ~ Dan Aykroyd
