For me it's the listenin' that rouses me from the doldrums. I can get lost in it, lose myself in it, and sometimes when I 'come back' I am newly energized and inspired and agog at the richness of human beings.

I don't have it in me to sing - although I'll gladly play guitar for someone else during those times- when the bottom of my belly falls out. That is NOT put very well but I am referring to an emptiness, a hollow space, that I sometimes feel.

If I had a good voice though, I can't imagine not wanting to share it. So keep on singing! There are many like me who will always love the song- and all of you who make it.
