Joy is just as important to the human existence as food, clothing, and shelter. But when you're living on the streets, it is easy to forget how to find it; among service providers, joy is a need that is too often forgotten.
But on LA's Skid Row, one couple has adopted the task of cultivating joy with a boom box and a microphone. They have turned their love of karaoke into an outlet for LA's homeless. They have no hidden agenda, no underlying motive. Each week, they simply set up the karaoke machine, open the doors and watch the room come alive with music, dancing, and community.

music may be the answer to everything...good work on everyone's part here.
