The music making up there must be phenomenal! What a band!
My dear friend Mel told me her theory the other day about why healthy, vibrant Byron had to die (she played in a harp-concertina duo with him). She says, God has enough harp players but not nearly enough concertina players, so he took Byron to fill in the gap!

I'm not sure about that theory- but you can just keep the concertina jokes to yourself, or put them on another thread!

On a different note, a friend who was widowed 4 years ago tells me that grief follows not a linear but a spiral path. Your emotions loop around from feeling just plain sad, to downright miserable and unable to cope, around to calm, stable, and sometimes even happy, and back around again. It certainly helps explain my life these days.
