NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â Like so many, the Cochran family lost nearly everything to last year s tornadoes- but thanks to a gift from a stranger, now the family of artists can create music from the wreckage.
âWe brought them downstairs and about 90 seconds later the upstairs was completely destroyed. Our sonâs bed was in shambles where he was sleeping just a minute and a half before that,â said Melanie Cochran, recounting the night of last year s tornadoes. âIt was in a different room,â added her husband John.
