Friends. Freedom. Food. Music. Jobs. Parents. Children. Pets. Laughter. Emotions. And dozens of other things. We all have so much to be thankful for — everyday, not just Thanksgiving Day.
Join Bill Cohen from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, November 24, 2023 for a unique concert of songs that express gratitude for all that we have.
Playing piano and guitar, Bill will sing songs written by, made famous by, or inspired by, a wide variety of folks — John Denver, the Weavers, Phil Ochs, Louis Armstrong, Don McLean, the Beatles, and others. Even Johnny Appleseed, Jiminy Cricket, and the “old ladies” on the TV show, “Golden Girls.”
On several songs, Ann Fisher will add beautiful flute accompaniment, David Maywhoor will add the beat on percussion, and Joe Lambert and Joanne Blum will add soothing vocal harmonies.
The program will take place in the intimate sanctuary of the Maynard Avenue Methodist Church at 2350 Indianola in Columbus. The church lot has room for a few cars, but you may have to search for parking spaces on nearby streets, so we recommend you arrive early.
Besides the music, we’ll hear some thoughtful quotes, reminding us of our many many blessings on Planet Earth. No sermons here but words of inspiration and emotion from sources as varied as Albert Schweitzer, Rod Serling, Gandhi, Einstein, and Buddha.
We’ll be asking for $10 per person donations at the door. Proceeds will go to help my Bill’s wife Randi make her annual winter trek to the Dominican Republic where she serve as a volunteer translator for the International Medical Alliance of Tennessee, a team of doctors and nurses who provide free basic medical care to impoverished Haitian workers who live and work just inside the D.R. border.
WHEN: Friday, November 24 at 7 pm.
WHERE: Maple Grove Methodist Church, 7 W. Henderson, Columbus 43214
(free parking in back church lot, enter from Aldrich Rd)
