Some wonderful pictures, and some great music. It looks like he had a chance to do some great things during his life. Also a fine job on "Darlin' Corey".

I can't tell you how glad I am that I took advantage of the offer to pre-order a copy; I've been enjoying it for weeks now and it is a brilliant CD.

Hi Barry,

I am one of five siblings. Each of us are doing some small things in our own ways to keep his memory alive. I think it's more of a healing and catharsis. I know it is for me.

My sister put together a book in Shutterfly (she is a Shutterfly addict) You can view a book of Michael's photos on Shutterfly .

Very, very, nice Deb - a wonderful tribute to your brother. For what it's worth, some of my heros are Emmylou, Nanci, Tish Hinojosa and Kathy Mattea and your style is right in the pocket with Kathy,
BIG TIME, well,...in my opinion, anyway. Good show; keep it up and good luck with your future endeavors. Cheers,............mwh

The Shutterfly photos are beautiful; I wasn't aware of Shutterfly before. I'm sorry that Michael is no longer with you.

Thanks, Karen!! And it looks like I'll be having a Paton helping me get all the mailings done as Linnea is now going to school in Worcester, right next door to me in Shrewsbury!

And thanks to all who have watched the video and your lovely comments.
