Marion, when I started this thread nearly 2 years ago, I wasn't exactly sure what I was after, but I had a number of things in mind. I wanted us to examine our motives for performing, our motives for singing particular songs. Regardless of why we started, or why we are where we are today with our singing, I wanted to see if people sensed the power of the songs we sing and the tunes we play. It was important to me to get folks to feel the empowerment that doing what we do gives them, and gives others. Your post here, of that story is one of the the best examples of one of the things I was hoping would be accomplished. I knew of that story, but I am very pleased that you made it a part of the permanent record here. Thanks for a great post.

All the best,

Big Mick
