Russell and Robert have had their lean times – homeless, drugs, alcohol.

An important part of their recovery is music. We catch them having a jam in a strange but majestic place – the Church at Exodus. Another Exodus regular pops in to remind us that being homeless does not make one a has been.

“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.” 

– Plato

“Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.” 

– Martin Luther

“I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music” 

– Billy Joel

“Music doesn’t lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.” 

– Jimi Hendrix
