Over 5 years ago in August 2006, I started the Forget-Me-Not benefit music series in memory of my dad who I lost to Alzheimer’s, Charles Majors, who passed away in May of that same year. To date the benefit series has raised $26,202.75 for Alzheimer’s research. All proceeds raised are donated to the Alzheimer’s Association.

It has been an amazing experience–one that helped me heal from the loss of my dad and lead me on my own creative path towards photography, videography, graphic design, and starting this music blog. Who would have ever thought? Just shows that out of bad things, good things can also occur.
I’d like to thank all of the artists who participated in the most recent benefit show on October 6th for their support for the cause and sharing their talent: Julie Roberts, Sarah Darling, Amber Hayes, Baillie and the Boys, Jason Deere, Joanna Smith, Lisa Torres, and Bucky Covington. Also, thank you to Billy Block for hosting the night.
It was a great night of music at Hard Rock Cafe in Nashville, TN for a great cause. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer venue and grateful to the kindness of the staff at Hard Rock Cafe, especially Stephen Salyers, for his help.
Last week’s show was actually the last Forget-Me-Not benefit show that I plan on organizing. Something that I had decided a month prior to the show. I wanted to end the series on a high note and I think we did just that! It’s been a wonderful experience and many great memories, but I think it’s time to bring the series to a conclusion.
Thank you to everyone from the beginning through now that have helped support Forget-Me-Not and Alzheimer’s. All the efforts never went unnoticed and truly appreciated.
