Blog 6  "The Lady at the Piano"

  

Kindness, and generosity are humanistic qualities that are finely interwoven into Judy 

Gascon's elderly heart, whom is a sixty-six year old Woman who volunteers once a week at a 

hospitable to provide entertainment through her musical ability/talent to play the piano. 

Gascon has been taking the liberty to volunteer at this particular hospital for the past 10 years, 

and in order to achieve a very meticulous appearance, she wakes up as early as 5:30 in the 

morning on a Tuesday just to do so. In trivia, and in part of what reflects her desire to help out 

(musically speaking), at this hospitable containing elderly vets, is when she was inspired by 

detailed, personal, and intimate letters from her father, written during his time, and service 

spent in World War II as a Army Air Corp. Because Gascon's appeal is so spot on in achieving 

the look of actual female veteran from the way her hair is styled, and her attire, she 

unintentionally fooled the vets into believing she was a veteran which is a

success worth mentioning.The journalist found her to be a woman with a heart of gold in her

lending a helping a hand to vet patients at a hospitable because generally speaking, people 

forget to think or apply entertainment with and in conjunction to old age vets in a hospitable, 

so the journalist feels that because Gascon's possesses this element in considering old age vets 

still need love, Gascon is a wonderful candidate to pay honorable tribute to from his point of 

view. Lastly in summary, Gascon plays an arrangement of music from the 19th and 20th 

centuries. One line that is amazingly written is "Every Tuesday she is there at the piano, 

serving those who have served with her own brand of healthcare" which entails her good deed 

of entertaining these vets at the hospitable has acted like, and become like a kind of healthcare. 

Andrew sisters who was a popular singing group, and I found this to be a important piece of 

information because before, reading this literary profile, I had no idea this group existed, and 

made me do a bit of research on this group. This profile is resourceful because it identifies, and 

brings to light that humanistic qualities still exist in this world even in the elderly(Judy 

Gascon), and can inspire someone to do research about WW II.
