Typifying her outlook on life, here are the words she sings on the Mudcat CD "This Is Us --Sky"


That's Not My Colorado - katlaughing

Written by Kat LaFrance © 1999

Kat LaFrance (katlaughing): Voice

According to Bert, this is the "FIRST Mudcat collaboration song," as he had the first tune for it. Written on Mudcat as we lived through that awful dayof the Columbine High School shootings. Thanks, Bert, for your encouragement!

That's not my Colorado
With the blue skies up above;
That's not my Colorado,
Where the school ran with blood.

That's not my Colorado
Where my parents grew up proud,
That's not my Colorado
Senseless killing was not allowed.

Colorado was the beauty
Of the Rocky Mountains high,
Colorado was the quiet
Of the river's gentle sigh.

Colorado meant a home to me
And now I know it not.
That's not my Colorado
Where the children felt the shot.

(Repeat 1st 2 verses)

Maybe one day some of you more creative 'catters might come up with a musical tribute as was done with Barry Finn (Song for Barry). I'm sure you'll agree, she is worthy.
