~ Music Heals ~ The Ryan Sisters ~



Law of Attraction song sung by the Ryan Sisters. They believe that music heals and have been told that their music inspires and touches the heart and souls of all who listen! The powerful messages in their music empowers listeners to believe in themselves, that anything is possible and that we all have unlimited power within us to create the life of our dreams!

After Lauretta came down with a life threatening disease called Guillain BarrĂ© Syndrome in June, 1995 which paralyzed her entire body, they decided to pursue their dream as they realized that life is too short to let your dreams pass you by.  Here is their incredible story...


Help A Great Cause ~ McGill Dances For Cancer Research


~ McGill Dances For Cancer Research ~
~ Every Hit Counts ~

This Dance Video was made at McGill University, Montreal, by a group of Doctors and Researchers at the Goodman Cancer Research Centre, who turned on the music and danced. For every hit they get, they will receive more funding. At one point you will see 3 "old guys" swinging their hips to the song Dynamite. These 3 men are three of the top cancer researchers in the world. Let's help them get the funding they need to help find a cure to this awful disease. PLEASE HELP!!!

"To highlight some of the critical work being done at the Goodman Cancer Research Centre, we gathered some of our top scientists, students, lab techs and dedicated volunteers, who turned on the music - and danced!"

"Thanks to our proud sponsor, Medicom, a donation will be made for each hit to support advances in cancer research at the Goodman Cancer Research Centre."

John, while sharing his many talents with professional expertise and warm direction, gave us many wonderful theatrical moments and memories as Director of Orangeville Music Theatre for Anything Goes (2002), Me And My Girl (2003), and Crazy For You (2004).  It was an honour to work with John on all three of these musical productions.
This picture of John Weir (Director) with Brenda McDooling Duce (Music Director, Starbound Studios) was taken during Orangeville Music Theatres' show run of Me And My Girl. RIP John, because we were, are, and always will be "Crazy For You".
