It just reminds me of someone I met, who was on Mudcat for a bit. It was after Rick had died, and I started talking to this person, and the way he listened, it was almost magic. It was pure power. He pulled whatever it was out of me by doing nothing but listening, and it was a lot more than just letting me talk and making appropriate noises at appropriate times. I think he let me babble, asked some questions and sorted through all those words for what I was really saying. I've met some good listeners, but only a very few were so skilled at it that I instantly trusted them. There's the listening, but also really, really paying attention with an open mind, and a real love for people in general.

I'd be curious to know what your inspiration for this song was, Member Fred.
