Shane Bailey Bash aids Fort Smith musicians

Shane Bailey was a Fort Smith musician who “had a deep compassion for young musicians who aspired to excel. He especially reached out to who lacked the resources needed to pursue their dreams and goals, and those who didn’t fit society’s concept of ‘the norm.’”
