Subject: RE: Why We Sing, Part II
WYSIWYG - thanks for refreshing this.

Mick - tremendous couple of messages.

I sing because there are times that nothing else can say what I'm trying to say. Wrote a lament last night when doing mundane work around the house - I'll look at it in a week or two to see if it is still good.

Got a message this morning I did not want. A fellow I met at a pipe band contest a couple of years ago and have met there regularly since is among the missing fire fighters. The brother of another piper I met is also missing.

My grandkids have all fallen asleep in my arms at one time or another being sung to sleep by grandpa. My wife has done the same. I can only hope that Mike and Brian found a peacefull rest and hear music better than any I can produce.
