Since he figured he did not have long to live, he decided to do something that had always been a dream, he took the $600 he would have spent on his heart medicines and bought 300 harmonicas for children in public school, complete with lessons from Andy himself.

When Andy didn’t die the next month, he bought a few hundred more, and the Andy Mackie Music Foundation was born.
