Hey Rick,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your song here. Your lyrics, especially the second verse, brought back memories of that heart-wrenching pain. Thankfully, the pain has been softened by time. But in a way, I was glad to revisit it for a moment, if just to feel that shared sense of loss and connection again. I haven't felt that for quite awhile now. I still feel the loss, but not the connection.

So thanks, and someday I'd like to hear the music that goes with your words. Let us know when it's ready to be heard.

Kelly

Thanks for taking the time to read the song. I felt just donating to PCF, wasn't ever going to be enough of a payback to his memory for me, I felt the need to do more. Writing this was too quick to be painful for me, which I'm really happy about.
It's hard to get people who do this whole songwriting thing to understand how much I want the song to be accepted as what it actually is, a Thank You to someone who's gifts of music is so overwhelmingly powerful and meaningful to my love of music. I've only requested one thing should anyone want to record the song, that "In memory of Singer/Songwriter Dan Fogelberg" be beneath the physical title of the song.
Thanks for reading my song, and one day soon hopefully I'll be able to share with you a finished worthy version of the song itself. I wrote the music and the lyrics, now the talent (vocals) has to come in and put the spit-shine on it. Have a great Day, thanks again.
