Tom Hamilton & Ernie Boch, Jr. Jam With Kids

Friends of Franciscan Winter, 2009; page 6

The hospital was alive with the sound of music this winter, as local musicians visited and hung out with the kids. Ernie Boch, Jr., and Harmonix delivered two brand new Rock Band systems, and even stuck around to play a few songs. Sharieff was a master on the drums while William clearly enjoyed himself. Later Sharief wrote and recorded his own rap song, and Payola convinced her nurse, Rob, to do a duet.

Next, Terry and Tom Hamilton spent a whole day visiting with kids throughout the hospital. We’re not sure who was more excited to meet Tom — the staff or the kids! Thanks to Terry and Tom for donating two "Guitar Hero: Aerosmith" systems, which have already provided lots of fun during this winter’s snowstorms.
