Music is indeed a balm to the soul, especially if you have just received bad news.  For musician Curtis Exum of Torrington, Connecticut, music gave him hope and took him out of the doldrums.

Curtis was diagnosed with cancer and he really was feeling low with the orders for him to stay 10 days at the UConn John Dempsey Hospital for his treatment.  All he could think about was for him to be at his home and strumming his guitars.

His bleak situation did not escape the caring eyes of Medical assistant Sammy Myers.  He has been at the hospital long enough to recognize patients who needed pick-me-ups.  In this case, the musician Curtis.

Sammy was thinking of a way to lift Curtis’ spirits and then remembered that his daughter had a guitar at home which has been sitting unused.  Instead of not hearing it being played, he decided on giving the guitar to Curtis.

But rather than just bring it as is, he decided to spruce it up, equip it with an amplifier, before presenting it to Curtis.

The unexpected heartwarming gesture made Curtis cry tears of joy.

Curtis said, “It was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. It was just so nice. I’ve had to fight for everything I had my whole life and to have a stranger give me such a gift, it saved my sanity.”

A little act of kindness really goes a long way in making this world better.  Combine it with the gift of music to one who lives for it, then you’ve got human beautiful music playing from a heart that’s lighter.
