On April 17, 2005 an extraordinary group of friends, fans, and family gathered to honor and assist musician Greg Root who survived a debilitating stroke in May of 2004

Dozens of musicians from all over the United States gathered at the Carroll Arts Center in Westminster, Maryland to perform a benefit concert on Greg's behalf.

One of the results of this event is the CD that captured the magic of the day.
