The Oriskany Strings gave a benefit performance for residents at the Warm Hearth Village, Kroontje Health Care Center in Blacksburg, VA on October 7, 2004 from 3:00 to 4:00 pm. Frazier Parr, a resident at Warm Hearth, invited the band to come and play. Frazier is a long-time friend of Carol Lewis, and in his youth used to work on Carol's family farm. The Strings played a mixture of gospel, old-time and bluegrass songs, such as Keep on the Sunny Side, Old Cold Tater, and Where the Soul Never Dies. The residents sang along to many of the old favorites. The band was invited back to perform at the upcoming Fall Festival at Warm Hearth on November 19, 2004 between 2:30 to 5:00 pm.
