He had just talked to some patients about “what they were going through and how much the music meant to them,” he says, “and I just felt like I was channeling that whole kind of feeling and experience.”

He is such a great guy, always trying to help teach music, always about the team, always about the betterment and welfare of others. Joe Merrit, is a wonderful art mentor, through his guidance as well as Jessica Shipman they have really taught me about art and how art is such a great way to relieve stress just by showing us different art forms and letting us just use our own creative minds. My most favorite part of any group whether it be art, writing or music, is when Wytold’s music plays and OMG! the creative thoughts that flow from medium to canvas, or from pen to paper, or even from hand to instrument is amazing.
