Celebrate the Thanksgiving Spirit at Concert with Bill Cohen

Friends. Freedom. Food. Music. Parents. Children. Pets. Laughter. Emotions. And dozens of other things. We all have so much to be thankful for.

Join Bill Cohen to celebrate the Thanksgiving spirit from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, November 29, 2024 as he sings a unique concert of songs that express gratitude for all that we have. It’s his 11th year for this Thanksgiving-themed concert, and once again, it takes place at Maple Grove Methodist Church, 7 W. Henderson.

Playing piano and guitar, Bill will sing songs linked to a wide variety of folks — John Denver, Bing Crosby, Phil Ochs, Louis Armstrong, Don McLean, and Peter Paul and Mary. Even Johnny Appleseed, Jiminy Cricket, and the TV show, “Golden Girls.”

On several songs, Ann Fisher will add beautiful flute accompaniment, David Maywhoor will add percussion, and Joe Lambert and Joanne Blum will add soothing vocal harmonies.

This is a free concert, but if people appreciate the songs and the message, Bill will welcome donations for a non-profit charity, International Medical Alliance of Tennessee. That’s the group that his wife Randi goes with to the Dominican Republic every February. The all-volunteer group of doctors, nurses, and medical students provides free medical care to impoverished, disenfranchised Haitian workers who live and work just inside the D.R. border.

Randi serves as the group’s interpreter, bridging the language gap between the Spanish-speaking patients and the English-speaking medical workers.

WHEN: Friday, November 29, 2024 at 7:00 pm
WHERE: Maple Grove Methodist Church, 7 W. Henderson.
Free parking is available in the parking lot just South of the church. It’s accessible from Aldrich Road, one street south of Henderson, off of north High Street.

Suggested $15 per person donations at the door; proceeds will go to International Medical Alliance of Tennessee, for missions to the Dominican Republic.
