Thanks "Paw". The only one that keeps running through my head is the song "Healing River" by Fred Hellerman and Fran Minkoff. Pete Seeger sang it right after the bodies of Goodman, Schwerner, and Chaney had been found. If anyone knows the lyrics (or can remember them) it's a powerful song for this sad day.

Today's tragic event in Colorado brings pain to us all. The victms of it are not just the one's who were shot, but also their families and friends. And the list goes on: Other kids who saw too much and their circle of friends and family; the staff for the same; EMS workers and police and the circles surrounding them, sure it's their job but.....; and as a foster parent, I've had kids with great parents who are candidates to be the perps and I've had kids with the worst of parents and have overcome the abuses they have had put upon them...my point is that the parents of the perpetrators might be people like yourself and they, along with their circle, are suffering tonight too. Perhaps we all are.

We are music people...We believe in the power of music. What song or songs would you sing and give to all of these victims to help in the healing process of this life altering event. This is not a thread about politics, societal order, violence, religion, or even parenting. As Karen and I have seen many sides to family situations, we have come to see that there but for grace are we...and possibly you too.

So how about it 'Catters? Have we got a song or two for Colorado's victims?
