Daily news headlines can often be jarring, overwhelming and leave people feeling a sense of hopelessness, but Cheddar News is looking to capture those feel good moments as well.

In this segment of On a Positive Note, Allen Gogarty, a Queens, New York man, used his musical talents to say thank you to hospital staff. Gogaraty suffered a heart attack but was saved -- not once, but twice. He felt the need to pay them back and after recovery, whipped out his guitar and took it back to Irish folk rock roots. "The gift of life has been handed back to me and its something that we take for granted, that I won't ever take for granted again," he said.
