Subject: RE: Loss of all hands in the irish sea
If folk music cannot see to the heart of such a tragedy...what can indeed? Thank you for making us aware of this ...surely many prayers and thoughts will be with those families tonight, because you did. Here's another chorus perhaps..... "Upon the land they breathless stand as they watch the stormwinds come, Mothers, Sisters, Daughters, Wives, wait for Fathers, Brothers, Sons. And should the waves claim yet that soul for whom they burn a light, There'll be one angel more in the arms of the sea as they wait in vain tonight."

May God be with them, as will our thoughts, as they face a future without a loved one.
