I do believe that many people become less inhibited as they age and are willing to “put themselves out there” a little bit more.\u00a0 Tonight the Melody Makers from Eden Terrace brought a lot of joy to a lot of people…including themselves!\u00a0 Have YOU thought of joining a community chorus, band or other musical ensemble?\u00a0 Do think about it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
