Info from Licensor: "Adam Foote previously worked in the Mental Health field as an Elementary School Counselor, but recently became burnt out and decided to pursue his childhood dream of being a professional musician. In order to help support himself financially, Adam performs regularly under the stage name Ethereal in E at nursing homes and for hospice patients to help lift their spirits and make each day worth living. Adam understands the fragility of life well due to his father having committed suicide when he was only 11 years old. He strives to help others by leading as an example to live each and every day as if it were his last. In this video, Adam had just finished his performance for hospice patients at a rural nursing home in Spirit Lake, Idaho when JoAnn entered the room. JoAnn was not present for the performance because she could not hear the music. Adam learned of her hearing impairment and wanted her to experience the music on her level, so he put the instrument in her lap so she could feel the vibrations. When Adam played the very last deep bass note loudly, JoAnn gasped as she pointed to her right ear and exclaimed: “I can hear that!” Adam finished the song by embracing JoAnn and thanking her for sharing in that special moment."
