A local man is on a mission to spread the love of music to people of all ages. Wilbert Rimper's Music Sharing Inc. was started after Mr. Rimper, an accomplished musician survived a horrific head on collision and decided to make it his life's mission to touch people with music. Now he gives free music lessons to people of all ages, even children with disabilities, in order to help spread joy, happiness and peace with music. Mr. Rimper is having some health issues and can't be with us today, so filling his spot is Mary Erickson, a Volunteer Secretary for Wilbert Rimper's Music Sharing Inc. Also here are four music students who will be performing for us this morning. 6 year old Freddie Faul will be playing the clarinet, 10 year old Cody Gruen will be on guitar, 8 year old Mireya Gonzalez will be playing the piano and 12 year old Mckenna Chase will be singing for us. Segment 1 of 2.
