Thread Name: Why we sing.
Subject: RE: Why we sing.
Yum Yum, I sincerely hope that you recognize the gift you gave, and the enormity of the gift he gave back. You touched this man to the extent that he sent you a message before he left on the next part of the journey. His spirit recognized yours for what it is. When you have the gift of song, you have an obligation to share it, to use it in an appropriate way. We spend the first part of our lives learning to sing. At some point, if we recognize the depth of our souls, we realize that the gift we have given isn't about making us "famous". It is about sharing and passing on the stories of who and what we are to another generation. Sandy and Caroline Paton discovered this early on and have made a whole life of their sharing. Art Thieme is another example of this. He passes on in so many ways. Ed Trickett is another. So is Dan Milner (Liam's Brother).

You apparently have a gift, my friend. You shared it with your friend and he gave it back in spades. Don't squander it, Yum Yum. Sing...........and pass it on. It makes the lump go away.

All the best,

Big Mick
