Aspen's Most Popular Show:

It's more than just a concert.  Aspen talks with the residents throughout the show about the songs, her instruments, family, travels, residents' memories, and any other interesting tidbits that come up.  Afterwards, she stays for a short meet & greet, shaking hands and listening to brief stories that residents want to share. Sometimes, she welcomes residents on stage with her to sing or play an instrument, especially if this is something they have past experience with.  Other times, she sings a special song after the show with a resident who wants to hear a particular old favorite that moves them.
