I have no idea how I missed this thread in all of it's previous incarnations, but thanks for the refresh.......

Nathan, I am sitting here blubbering like a fool and have been for the past half hour. I can't read more than a few lines without becoming overwhelmed. Finally I am able to slowly type this in and tell you that I believe that to be one of the most poignant and truest songs ever written. If anyone can sing it through we need to start doing so because nothing I have heard in the singer/songwriter branch of the folk world deserves more to become a "folk song."

I don't know what special voice inspired you and although many of your pieces are wonderful, this song stands out......not just above your others, but anything else I've heard by anyone, anywhere...........
