Musicians on Call, Calling on Fans
Musicians on Call is on a mission. They are the ones who bring the music to the bedsides of people in the hospital. (If you aren't familiar with M.O.C., watch country artist Mark Wills bringing smiles to the faces of folks at Vanderbilt Medical Center last year. He visited about 12 patients that day, singing with his bittersweet "Don't Laugh at Me.") The organization has made more than 125,000 patients feel a little better with all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. And now they're doing some fundraising, country-style. You can bid on tickets and backstage passes for Rascal Flatts, backstage barbecue experiences with Keith Urban and autographed guitars and such from LeAnn Rimes, Taylor Swift, Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, John Michael Montgomery and Blake Shelton. Knowing how much joy this program would bring me if I was stuck in the hospital makes it easy to push the bidding up a little higher. Auctions close March 5.
