You know, Terra, it's funny that you say that about not *quite* being able to listen to the new CD yet. I feel the same way. In fact, I still haven't listened to Dan's music since he passed - his music is so emotional (at least, *I* think so), and it's difficult, still, to grasp that he's gone.

And certainly, this very last CD is nothing BUT emotional. I try to imagine him putting this collection together, knowing that it would be the last - choosing the songs, reworking some of them, perhaps, recording them, then fine-tuning and mixing them 'til everything met his very high standards. And then putting them away where they wouldn't be touched 'til he was gone.

When I finally *can* work up the strength to listen, I know I'll have a good cry. I'll lament the loss of such a talent and, at the same time, give thanks that he graced this world with his music, his words, and his spirit.

Thanks, Dan...

After Dan passed, I could not listen to his music either. I don't think I listened to any music deliberately. If the radio was on in the car, whatever played was fine, I don't think I even heard it. Then Jean released "Sometimes a Song" I had to listen, but I only listened a couple times.
Then one day I just turned my computer on and let it play all day in the background. I love music. How could we live without music? Dan was the center of my musical world, when he passed, that piece of my world was gone, I had to mourn it's loss. I did and still do, but I love the new songs and they need to be celebrated and enjoyed. I hope for years to come new listeners will hear a Dan song and appreciate it's beauty. He has left us a wonderful library of music for future generations to enjoy. I hope somehow that will happen.
