TN woman plays piano in field during tornado cleanup to encourage volunteers

While this work is never easy, both physically and emotionally, the burden doesn't seem quite so heavy when you have a little music.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — Nearly two weeks ago, tornadoes swept through Middle Tennessee, killing 25 people and destroying hundreds of buildings.

Residents and volunteers are joining to pick up what remains and start the process of rebuilding.

While this work is never easy, both physically and emotionally, the burden doesn't seem quite so heavy when you have a little music.

That is exactly why Jane Turvaville perched on a makeshift bench to play on a piano that was tied down to a trailer in the middle of a field.

A group called Helping Hands with the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was working on picking up debris in the field.

Facebook posts from friends said she was a prime example of everyone using their skills to work toward a common goal.
