February 5, 2009 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- They're united by kinship and music. And, for the Sugar Strings of Chicago, it's a winning combination.

Ayanna Williams, who is 17 and plays cello, is surprised at how they are received by those they play for. 'The reaction from the audience is pretty surprising because of the before and after effect. Sometimes they don't expect us to play well but when we do they either cry or they're happy.'" [Full Post]
