I wrote this in 1993It's the oldest one of my songs I have posted here and this is how you spell "tragedy". We lost one of my Aunt's last year and a Uncle earlier this year. The Rock world has recently lost 2 of the best of all time in Chris And Chester. Last week Rocky the RTZ shop foreman made his last trip to the vet.In December of 2012 2 days after the Sandy Hook school shooting I posted the first and last sections of this song with a static picture of a candle.I was ask by Dan if they could use it on the Christmas record. It was called (Silent Christmas)

Thanks Mr. Morris. Loss is not fun to write about but a necessity at times. I have played and sung this song under my voice a 100 times. Still works for me and if it work for others you know what that means to a songwriter.
This does what a great song should do - touches folks who hear it so they can feel the emotion and relate it to their own lives and by doing so feel a sense of kinship with the singer/songwriter. Excellent!!
