Dear Free=I don't understand, but I respect your decision. You are a dear friend and I have always enjoyed your posts. You will be missed here. You have added to my life and I am truly thankful for that.

Ala P and I went to see Don Ross last night. Boy what a concert. He is getting more versatile as well. He played some blues, some folky stuff as well as the great funky stuff he is known for. He absolutely blew our minds. He mentioned he uses over a hundred types of tunings-I don't know more than one. This guy is amazing, so if you ever have the chance to see him, do so.

I don't think mothers are given the credit they deserve. There is no monetary value that can be placed on a mother who truly cares for her children.So here is a heartfelt thanks to all of you who have done this.

Congrats and do something special for that wonderful mother.

And for those who like summer in the country-

Since we're talkin' about summer-

Happy 50th, from your friend PB-have fun! and welcome to the space age.

Ditto to what Garth P said. If I may add one thing-get a good lawyer and shut this attack down. You will be in my prayers.

New York is where I'd rather stay. I get allergic smelling hay. I just adore a penthouse view. Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue. ...The chores. ...The stores. ...Fresh air. ...Times Square

Let's face it. The best singer never wins. It's a popularity show. I do enjoy the show especially seeing how they interpret the songs. But that said, I think Jordan, then Melidna are the best two left.

Thanks for all the great music folks. Keep em' comin'.

Some rockin' blues by another great Canuk-Jeff Healy And another with Jeff and Stevie Ray V.

My two kids were raised in twi. We allowed them some space because we knew much was expected of them. But with that said, one day I asked them would they stand with twi after they left home. They said "no way". That was the final straw in our leaving. My kids helped me to wake up. Bless their hearts they saw the religion. They were hoping for us to finally wake up. They were bored stiff by twi. My daughter recently told me she is still tramatized every time she hears a vaccuum.

Waysider-Amen JJ-Manipulation is the key. Twi contradicted most of what they taught. They preached "free will" but in practice is was "do what we tell you to".

Dear Free-Congrats. When I was in Universiy I spent all my time witnessing, running classes and fellowships when I should have been studying. Glad you could put your heart into it.

Well Johny-The big "50". How do you plan to celebrate? 50 Beers, 50 shots of JD, 50 posts? Anway you do it have fun.

We also need a committee to oversee and handle lightbulb changing issues. Then we should have a PR person to handle relations. And then someone to report to the government agency on emmisions. Then an accountant to handle lightbulb changing labor payouts. An inventory person to handle lightbulb shipments. And a purchaser to select the right lightbulbs.

Go girl!

Since we're into Van M. here is my favorite-(sailing and music, my two favorite things)

I have the same problem. Years ago I had great enthusium, it seems since twi sucked the life out of me. I slowly have been getting some excitement for life back. I think it will take time. " Go out and prosper".

Dear Cat-I had no idea LP did any of these things. Sorry to bring up old hurt. I have asked Paw to take this thread off the site. I don't know what he will do.

Farm livin' is the life for me.

Exe-Thanks for that Shannon Noll tune-very nice, I haven't heard of him. Sudo-nice old tune thanks.

I agree with the dances. They were horrible. It got so bad they made us dance to "the singing ladies music". What the hell was that about. RG- as most have said the talent was there and the musicians were generally very good. It's too bad the ministry suppressed a lot of their hearts by driving over every song they wrote with a bulldozer and running the crap out it them. I used to write many songs but the ministry sucked the life right out of my heart. Hoping to get that back someday.

Dan-you should change your screen name fro greasespot to Martin. Then you could be Marin Luthier.
