How devestating for Dan and Tandy! I so picture Dan at Fox Valley - with his dog tagging along or swapping weird instrument licks with Art Thieme or making you JUMP with the story about the snakecharmer. I vividly remember him telling the story about his dog Jack, who ate the couch. Dog friendship seemed to rate highly with him, as it did with me. Losing mine to old age was horrid enough, but this must be unbearably sad.

I hope the disruption and loss in their lives is minamal and can be set to rights soon. While Dan's splendid voice surely can sing the sad songs, I can see him needing a lighter heart for his storytelling. If you don't know Dan Kedding, check out his articles in SING OUT magazine. It's well worth getting any of his albums of songs or stories. I'm not on facebook & appreciate the Mudcat posting.

I can't do anything but offer prayers from Cleveland,
