Intergenerational Songwriting with Paul Reisler

Paul Reisler, musician and founder of Kid Pan Alley, invited the Hearthstone lower grade students to join him at the Rappahannock Senior Center for a morning of questions and answers between the seniors at the center, and the children of Hearthstone.

We learned a lot of interesting facts about growing up in Rappahannock County from the talk. We also learned how easy we have life compared to yesteryear. It was humbling, rich, and sometimes comedic hashing out the differences between generations. Paul will come to Hearthstone next week, April 15 & 16 to write a song about what we learned from the folks at the senior center. He will also be meeting with the people at the senior center to write a song about us next week.

There will be a concert at Rappahannock Elementary School on May 1st. More information to follow.
