  • Homeless  Stand Down, February 20th, 2006

    Joy through Music, Inc.,  performed at the HSD’06 which took place at Trinity Cathedral in Cleveland, Ohio.    The
    performance lasted for 1 ½ hour.  Musicians performing were Moises Borges, guitar and vocals and Kenny Davis, flugle
    horn and trumpet, and Deb Davidson, vocals and percussion.  The music of Brazil which included Samba and Bossa Nova
    was enjoyed by those attending the sit down meal in the Cathedral Hall.  Joy through Music received a volunteer award,
    which was presented by Kate Lassiter from Cleveland State University, one of the organizers for the yearly Stand Down.

    The audience enjoyed all of the selections of music that were performed by the group.  There was much interest shown
    regarding the horns that Kenny Davis used during his performance.  There was also dialogue about the music and its
    African origins.  Many of the crowd that was dispersed throughout the room came up to the front to be seated at tables
    near the stage to listen and watch the performance. There was some audience participation involving a young man
    dancing on the stage and others playing percussion.

    Edwards, Leo Ryan, John Tula, Reggie Tuck, Brian Bate, Pastor Jim Jasper and Deb Davidson.
