Subject: RE: NonMusic, NonBS:Big Mick Needs Hugs From: SINSULL Date: 18 Mar 01 - 07:18 PM I posted there and will add here: If only we were all blessed with friends like Mick. You are a treasure, Mick. Mourn for your friend but celebrate him too. And lean on your friends here for support and sympathy. I am lighting a candle tonight for you. Be well. Mary |

Subject: RE: NonMusic, NonBS:Big Mick Needs Hugs From: Amergin Date: 18 Mar 01 - 08:09 PM Mick, just think of all the music you'll make with him when next you meet.... |

Subject: RE: NonMusic, NonBS:Big Mick Needs Hugs From: katlaughing Date: 18 Mar 01 - 08:16 PM Alison just played a beautiful tune she'd written for Darla, now for Jim, too, in Paltalk. It was just incredibly beautiful. We love you Mick, darlin'...hugs all round. |

Subject: RE: NonMusic, NonBS:Big Mick Needs Hugs From: GUEST,Amos Date: 18 Mar 01 - 08:49 PM Mick, Whatever you need, whenever you need it, friend. My heart goes out to you; stay the course, don't forget to nreathe, and come through even wiser for it (if that is possible!). If you need to run off for a bit, you have a pied a terre in San Diego by the healing waters of the Pacific should you need it. Two Martins, an autoharp and a fivestring at your call.
With warmest affection,
Amos |

Subject: RE: NonMusic, NonBS:Big Mick Needs Hugs From: Sorcha Date: 18 Mar 01 - 09:01 PM "nreathe" Amos? I really like that one. Sort of breathe, need and grieve all in one word. Appropriate typos..... |

Subject: RE: NonMusic, NonBS:Big Mick Needs Hugs From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 18 Mar 01 - 09:03 PM Thanks Mick for letting us have that.
Here is a song I wrote a couple of years ago when my wife's mother died. Last week (March 6th 2001)my brother Brian suddenly died over in Ireland, and I found myself remembering it as I walked up to his place, and I sang it in the pub after we buried him on Sunday. It seemed to fit him well.
I just sang the first two verses - the last one didn't seem necessary. (Maybe it might work better as a first verse, with the other two to follow.)
I find songs can help a lot sometimes. I hope maybe this one might - and I've put it up on my website tonight, with chords, but no notes, - "Over the edge of the world".
Now you've left us behind and you've gone on your way,
I'm watching and waiting and trying hard to see
Well, I stood at the cross at the far end of town,

Subject: RE: NonMusic, NonBS:Big Mick Needs Hugs From: Sorcha Date: 18 Mar 01 - 09:10 PM (oops calling a JoeClone) Kevin, that is a beautiful song, I wish I had had it for my mother's service. I am sorry for your troubles, too, my friend. '01 is not shaping up too well for us is it? It just feels like if you could open the right door, or turn the right corner, they would still be there. It takes a while to realize that they are not "Here"....... |

Subject: RE: NonMusic, NonBS:Big Mick Needs Hugs From: CamiSu Date: 18 Mar 01 - 09:18 PM Mick, My condolances all around, but I must admit, if I had a choice, I'd like to have a sendoff such as you gave Jim. While I know it hurts to love so much, how empty it must be without love. And I think you're right about folkies. We tend to accept the emotions and keep them closer to the surface. I could wish more of the world were this way. It might solve some of the problems we engender by not communicating. God bless you and Darla and their loved ones...ALL of them. CamiSu |

Subject: RE: NonMusic, NonBS:Big Mick Needs Hugs From: alison Date: 18 Mar 01 - 09:32 PM that was gorgeous McGrath.... thanks yep Mick I played "Hold me close" for all of you in Paltalk tonight........ felt like the right thing to do.. slainte alison |

Subject: RE: NonMusic, NonBS:Big Mick Needs Hugs From: Tinker Date: 18 Mar 01 - 09:38 PM Mick, I've been away from the net a few days (work I couldn't delay), but your Irish way with words has the tears streaming down my face. There'll be a candle burning in the morning and a blessing winging through the night. Tinker |

Subject: RE: NonMusic, NonBS:Big Mick Needs Hugs From: katlaughing Date: 18 Mar 01 - 11:17 PM My condolences to you, too, McGrath. So sorry to hear about your brother. You song is absolutely beautiful. Pat/Spaw you, my dear one, have outdone yourself in eloquence. That is one on the most beautiful expressions I have ever read: Our hearts are made not of tissue, but made from the spirits of friends who have touched them.. Mick, maybe a wee smile through the tears, if Amos' offer is enticing, I'll up the ante with a dulcimer, fiddle, 3 pianos, a cello and all the other instruments at my sister's in the Rockies, as well as my mom's old taterbug mando...lots of respite and fresh air...a bit like your hill. luvyakat |

Subject: RE: NonMusic, NonBS:Big Mick Needs Hugs From: IvanB Date: 19 Mar 01 - 12:46 AM Mick, I'm so sorry to hear of Jim's death. I know from experience that it's especially hard to lose a friend when you feel there are still things that each of you had to say to one another. Although now is certainly a time for tears, hopefully those tears will resolve themselves in a rejoicing for all that you and others shared with Jim. Through that process Jim will continue to live on through the lives of his friends and family. My most positive thoughts go out to you and the other members of CCB as well as to Darla and the rest of Jim's family. Thanks for your sharing. I hope that, when my time comes, I'll have a friend as good as you to help ease my parting. |

But when one must go, what better way to say farewell than with a friend at your side and a song in your heart. Caroline and I will be traveling near you soon, Mick. I hope we can meet somewhere along the way and deliver our hugs in person. Our last program is in Chesterton, Indiana, on Sunday the 8th of April. Then we'll have a visit with Caroline's father and turn toward home. Let's see if we can work out a rendezvous. Give us a call, lad. We love you. Sandy |

Subject: RE: NonMusic, NonBS:Big Mick Needs Hugs From: Jande Date: 20 Mar 01 - 10:32 AM Mick, I have just finished reading both threads, and my heart is breaking. I'm no stranger to the pain and grief of loss, so my breaking heart and my prayers and blessings go out to you and to Jim's family and finally to Jim himself. May your next meeting with your friend and bandmate be as full of meaning as your last. I have printed your last post (Mar 18/01) to keep as a reminder of the spirit of love in the world, as a light in those dark days that sometimes suddenly come upon us, as they have suddenly come upon you. I have wept over the replies almost as much as I did over your eloquent post. Thankyou for sharing it with us. {{{{{{{{{{HUGS TO ALL}}}}}}}}}}} ~ Jande |
