Darius Rucker and Randy Houser were recently recognized for their volunteer work with Musicians On Call, a non-profit organization that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities. NBC’s Lester Holt traveled to Nashville to join Darius and Randy as they performed and visited with patients at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt through the MOC Nashville branch.
Both artists shared their experiences over the years performing for patients in healthcare facilities and the influence it has on them personally to witness the visible affect music has on these patients. The visit was the focus of the “Making a Difference” segment of <em>NBC Nightly News</em> on February 16.
Tracy Lawrence and friends helped fry more than 500 turkeys on November 20 as part of Tracy’s annual Mission Possible Turkey Fry. Since 2006, the event has brought in an estimated 6,500 turkeys and provided more than 40,000 meals to the Nashville Rescue Mission to feed the homeless during the holidays.
“I am blessed to have so many friends who share the same passion that I do for those in need during the holidays,” Tracy said “From volunteers who labored all day to the person who came by to drop off a turkey, they all have contributed to the success of this event and I am very thankful for them.”
The Tennessee Titans, Titans cheerleaders, Keith Anderson, Chad Warrix and members of the U.S. Coast Guard were among those on hand to fry turkeys at this year’s event.
