Recorded in 2011.

[Tom Sawyer]

Thanks for posting his song.

How come you don't fully appreciate someone until they are gone. I'll say a prayer and maybe he will receive it. At the very least I'll be reaffirming the thoughts to myself.

I forgot the first words. I went sleep last night singing John's songs .... not right but still

[Russell Kanning]

got to listen to it
Thanks Lauren
I always liked the live version a little better
It is hard to type when your eyes are welling up.
I will have to keep this on my computer so I won't forget the words again.

This wasn't written to be a remembrance of death, but a celebration of life.  So let it be for his:

OUR PEACEFUL ASSEMBLY  (to "We Gather Together" ("Wilt Heden Nu Treden"—Adrianus Valerius))

We've meaning
Convening
   Our Peaceful Assembly:
      By voicing
      Rejoicing
                  Of lives lived unbound,
            In hopes realizing
            Some kindred harmonizing
                  Might waft across the world in the wake of our sound.

   We need a m-
   eet freedom
      To craft our decisions,
         Abiding
         And guiding
                     Our learning and love.
               When consequence-driven,
               Devotion is a given—
                     A head must be unbowed to turn toward light above.

      Descanted,
      Not granted
         By mere constitutions,
            The praises
            Song raises
                        Buoy heart and fuel mind—
                  And if we inspire
                  The people of the Shire,
                        The joy within our hearts may spread through humankind.

[Jim Johnson]

That's nice, Richard.

Thank You

[Russell Kanning]

we're on the road to freedom
and we're trying something new
non-cooperation is the key
if you're tired of all the things you've tried before
then when you're ready, you know where we'll be
