This article by Carla Selvin reminded us of Jim Marshall's generous gifts of his photography to Bread & Roses through the years from the Greek Theatre shows in Berkeley to more recent gifts of photographs of our founder Mimi Farina and her sister Joan Baez. His great talent and indomitable spirit will be missed. (Photo of Mimi Farina (top) & Joan Baez in Monterey in the 60's by Jim Marshall. Courtesy of Bread & Roses)

Bread & Roses brings hope and healing through live music. As this article from the Wall Street Journal suggests - music therapy holds a key for unlocking healing potential in Alzheimer's patients. We can attest to the healing quality of music for all of our audiences that listen to a Bread & Roses show. Click here to read the full article.
Here is a snippet of the Wall Street Journal article:
"Caregivers have observed for decades that Alzheimer's patients can still remember and sing songs long after they've stopped recognizing names and faces. Many hospitals and nursing homes use music as recreation, since it brings patients pleasure. But beyond the entertainment value, there's growing evidence that listening to music can also help stimulate seemingly lost memories and even help restore some cognitive function."

Our good friend Norton Buffalo succumbed to lung cancer on Oct. 30th. He was a one-of-a-kind performer: a brilliant musician and a funny guy. He was blessed with boundless energy, good humor, and inspiration, which he readily shared with everyone he met.
