"Spring Strings" Music Series - Part 2
Welcome to part 2 of our "Spring Strings" music series, now on YouTube!
Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0m0Wx13lSc
The Blackstone Public Library would like to thank Kathryn Boisvert for providing the music used in this video.
Regarding her musical background Kathryn writes:
"Hello my name is Kathryn Boisvert. I am going on 30 years as a resident in Blackstone, MA. I have been married almost 37 years. I have two grown daughters, one son-in-law, and three granddaughters.
I am a musician, an avid 'book worm', a passionate cook, and I also enjoy crocheting in my free time. I sing and minister to the elderly in nursing homes, both at the bedside and in groups on the dementia units.
As a child, I grew up with three sisters and my mother - five of us in the family, all of whom were very musical. As an 8th grader, I took my guitar with me, accompanying my two sisters where we were a part of an Outreach program sponsored by the Berkshire Atheneum. We went into the nursing homes to sing for the elderly, which was very well received.
In more recent years, I became a caregiver for four years total to a wonderful elderly woman in her late 80s. I would entertain her in her home, singing and playing my guitar. Eventually, the family had to place her in a nursing home where I was asked if I wanted to be hired to sing for everyone there. My dear friend passed away several years ago and I have been singing in nursing homes ever since."
