SERVICE LEARNING DAY 1 (24 October 2012):

Today was the first day we visited a participant. Her name was Elizabeth and is very close to Rachel, kind of a second grandmother. We performed both songs for her, Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison and Twist and Shout by The Beatles. When we finished performing for her, she remembered a time when she was studying in college, when there were dance parties every weekend and everyone was good at dancing. She told us a story about a small, muscular man named Ray who had been her dancing parter for some time. She told us how in the middle of dancing, he had picked her up, thew her over his right him, brought her up, threw her over his left hip, brought her up, and then threw her between his legs and brought her up one final time. 

Overall, this day was a great success and was not hard to accomplish. We look forward to the upcoming service learning days, and the further recordings stories.
