Today was one of those happy sad days where we get to do something in memory of Sam. Every year snicen Sam died we award the Sam Cohn Musical Soul Award at MMU. Anyone can nominate someone for the award.. the only condition is, you can’t nominate yourself. The  idea is to nominate someone who loves music like Sam did.. The winner gets to go to Advanced Music and pick out the Guitar (or other stronger thing) that they love.. electric, acoustic, classical, guitar or bass. The only other condition is that .the instrument is never used to play elton john or billy joel.. tow artists that neither Sam nor I liked very much.. other than that. (and the strings on the instrument) no strings attached..

  Evey year at the MMU awards day, we go in and put all the nominations in a bowl then pick one of them at random.. we do that so Sam can have some say in the selection 🙂 . This year  it was a really nice kid named Jack..

the ceremony only took a few minutes.. but meant so much to us.. Thanks so much to the MMU staff for helping us do this every year..

and thank you Sam for helping out with the choosing.. i think you would like this idea.

nite all, nite sam
