\u201cHELLO, MY baby, hello my darlin\u2019, hello my ragtime gal \u2026\u201d The tinkling <\/em>and plinking <\/em>of an old upright piano danced out of the speakers as he danced around the dining room, straw boating hat waving in one hand while the wooden hook cane punched the air with the other. The routine usually signaled the end of his lunchtime old-time radio show for the nursing home residents, but this time was different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With his DJ cart in tow, Josh Urban spun his way into their hearts, and they laid down their tracks on his, forever etching life lessons, wisdom, and the power of connection. One by one, resident by resident, they gently turned him inside out, flipping his perspective and focus in life. And this dance was for them. It was goodbye for now as the music blared from his car speakers, and he entertained them one last time from the facility\u2019s parking lot, a place visible from their third-floor window. He wanted to leave on a high note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference in their worlds was night and day. Before entering theirs, his world was loud. Band gigs filled nights and weekends, and guitar teaching filled the days. Then, a gap created by students\u2019 summer vacations changed his life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He approached a nursing home with a business card and a proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can play you guys some Frank Sinatra,\u201d he offered. They would think about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urban\u2019s creative wheels were turning before the heavy door chunked shut behind him. What if, instead of trying to cover Sinatra tunes on his electric guitar, he DJ\u2019d a nostalgic radio show, spinning records that transported residents back to the golden age of music?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Facilities responded favorably, booking him for regular entertainment for their residents. Music helped pay the bills \u2014 guitar stints, rolling nostalgic radio shows in dozens of nursing homes, and teaching \u2014 but something deeper was missing, occasionally glinting in life\u2019s peripheral vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The COVID-19 pandemic would forever change that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had everybody call me up and say, \u2018Hey, let\u2019s just take two weeks off.\u2019 I was freaking out because my bills aren\u2019t going to take two weeks off. And I had a feeling it might be a little bit longer than two weeks,\u201d Urban shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, one facility employed him as a full-time entertainer and, later, as the activities director. He settled into an all-too-familiar routine in an all-too-unfamiliar time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI started playing four shows a day. In each little area, the residents would be locked in their rooms, so I\u2019d play in the hall. I was playing these shows, and people were so hungry to talk,\u201d Urban said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He realized the residents craved human interaction more than entertainment. So he shortened the music sessions and slipped into the role of \u201chouse grandson,\u201d helping with various tasks and offering companionship. COVID-19 steered the roller coaster of lockdowns and quarantines, locking those locked away further from their families and the world. And yet, Urban realized, the power of their stories connected us and them to something more than the outside world \u2014 it connected us to each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then, a resident planted a seed that found its way from the deep pandemic soil to the light of human connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis little old lady named Martha pulls on my sleeve, and she said, \u2018Josh, I had this dream that we co-wrote this book about our time here in lockdown, and the publisher called. They sold a million copies, and they\u2019re calling for a second printing,\u2019\u201d he vividly recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He promised to dedicate the book to her if he ever wrote it, half-heartedly convinced of the possibility. But as he began to feel pulled toward a smaller community near his family, he realized their stories deserved telling; their time served in a global pandemic merited medals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, \u201cFinally, my house sold. It was time for me to leave. I wrote them all a goodbye letter. I explained how I came into this as this rock and roll guy, and every day and every moment, they showed me that there\u2019s all this, meaning that I can lean into if I just listen and how meaning is more important than happiness. Their good actions, grace, patience, bravery, and fortitude profoundly changed me, not only personally but also seeing how that echoes out in the world, even if you\u2019re shut away from it. A line from the Sermon on the Mount really struck me: \u2018You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.\u2019 In this context, they were a city on a hill, and even though they\u2019re locked away on the third floor, and the only people seeing them are the night nurse, the day nurse, the food service guy, and me, their right actions are just unstoppable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Today, Martha\u2019s dream is Urban\u2019s first book, \u201cCities on a Hill,\u201d written after he moved to Lynchburg. Each chapter is about a different resident and their good deeds and graces \u2014 snapshots from their life stories. He felt Martha watching over his shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s to witness what we did to them, what it\u2019s like when you take one idea and elevate it above all the others, in this case, would-be safety,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Urban\u2019s nostalgic radio shows play on in nursing homes in the Lynchburg area, and he returns once a month to the home where it all began. He\u2019s reaching new audiences with his message of purposeful living. He\u2019s crafting a workbook to assist with writing life stories, writes a newspaper column, and has a nursing home newsletter inviting readers to write back if they want, connecting again through music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI started really focusing on this idea of trying to do meaningful things. And that\u2019s in every moment. It\u2019s lurking around every corner. You just got to pay attention to it and lean into it.\u201d GN<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
