    In a Dream was the song you started with!
    (Great song as well)
    I saw Firefall many times and later saw him in Capitola, ca in the Roberts-Meisner Band . In 2011 I had lunch with him and Mary in a restaurant south of Longmont.
    My first hearing of him was in a Christmas party at my record store manager’s house. The store employees were handing out as he played some demo albums and Windmills was one of them. I was so taken by the music that my manager gifted me the demo album. One of the songs that hit me deeply was (and still is) Jenny’s Blues. Just you and Rick - perfection.

You're the best! Thank you for all you do, Lee. Your Mom is with you always...I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my sweet momma at 14 and I miss her every day as well...

    Thanks you so much for reprising Sail Away. I bought Windmills when it came out ... I was living (as I still do) in the wild hills of mid-Wales, in a dilapidated cottage miles from anywhere at that time, and obsessed about that song. It returns me to those simpler times, when hope was still a valid commodity ... And Marc Benno's input to this album is absolutely in the pocket! Such a lovely record.

    My brother and I back in the 70's used to put bands together in our conversations. So and so would be good together etc.. I remember we thought Rick Roberts, Ritchie Furay, Randy Misner, and Rusty Young would be interesting. About a month later my brother walks through the door with the first Souther Hillman Furay album.

    Such beautiful sentiments about your beautiful, beloved mom, Trudy! 🙏❤️😇 Thank God for her, for she gave us you, with a little help from your dad, of course 😉🥰 I will honor her today and always. I know how hard it must be to not be able to call her. That's the hardest thing! 😢❤ I can feel your deep love for her. ❤ Please know I'm thinking of her today and always. I would have loved to have given her the biggest hug. ❤🙏😇 Giving you a BIG hug!!
    I'm so sorry to hear about Linda Rondatdt's brother passing. 😢❤🙏
    Rick Roberts, great tunes, Lee! Thank you so much. 🎸🎶🥰
    Today was a chilly and very windy day on the Cape. That arctic wind is coming in, alright. Brrrrr. But, we're New Englanders, and we're used to it. A beautiful, sunny day today over Martha's Vineyard Sound. 🌊 🌊 🌊 ⛵️
    So excited for Clubhouse on Wednesday!
    See you then, Lee!
    I ❤ you!!! 🎶🥰

    If you want to revisit other artists you have featured already. I can give you some suggestions. Bret McKenzie, patrick Simmons, Jeff Pryor or Daniel Lima. All are phenomenal singers (still listening to them) and are worth revisiting. Very soothing tunes lee. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 greeting sir.

    After having owned an Aria fretless that must have weighed 12 lbs or more, I've turned down many great sounding but heavy instruments.

    Telepathic Flowers sent in honor of TRUDY(sp?). Picture your Mom's favorite FLowers in a vase!!!
    A Mom's Prayer:
    She was a pillar, a gift of love, a treasure to my soul. Always caring, ever kind, and giving, even as she grew old. To me, she was a lovely mum, to you a beloved child. I could only know her a little, you knew her spirit deep inside. Whilst waves of grief break over me, crushing like a storm, You've greeted her with a warm embrace, and gently called her home. It's silent and so empty here, since she passed away, and yet she will hear celebration, called forever into grace. My memories are treasures now, I'll value, keep and sow, I know she's taken all her riches, left the chaff, and worn the gold! As time passes, I'll forget the hurt and pain she bore, For now, she's free, restored, and peaceful, in your arms forevermore. I'll let each bulb, each bud, each bloom, sing to me of your love. For you reign in eternity, and I'll wait for your kingdom to come. Thank you for my special mum, I trust her to your care, we rest in your arms secure and safe, we are both children there.
