This last Thursday morning weatherman Al Roker of the Today Show was in Nashville for the Lend A Hand Today program he has been involved with for the last six years.
The charity benefiting was the W.O. Smith/Nashville Community Music School. The school is a nonprofit that provides instruction to interested children from low income families for only $0.50 per lesson. The school boasts a staff of 100 volunteer instructors from the community, and over 350 students between the ages of 7 and 18.
Donors for the show included the Gibson Foundation which provided several pianos, along with a slew of guitars, mandolins and banjos.
Video of the segment is available for viewing online at MSNBC’s website. Just scroll down to “Day 4” and click the “Launch” button.
