Wow...I'm so glad you posted those thoughts, Steve...

I will NEVER, EVER forget the night before the show when pages and pages of the written music of my song..(for an orchestra!!) began coming in on the fax machine. I stood there in awe..and every other discriptive word of wonder and gratitude in existance. It is a very precious memory. And the same goes for the rehersal the next day, hearing the strings come in...I was lost in a fairytale of sound. My simple chording and melody was transformed into a wonderland. I'm still overwhelmed by it all. Yes...my world is a far brighter one these days because of Ivan!
