Susan,
Do you remember Fred Bals, who used to write a music column here on gather and does the Dreatime podcast and blog? SOTubes is his project, and he invited me to contribute to it as well, lots of off the beaten path stuff from us both there.

you might also like my blog, Music Road. I'll be interested to see what you do with yours as you get into it.

Susan,
that sounds like a great trip you have planned, and great music to hear too. sorry you had to miss A&N, but they tour a lot, so I expect you'll have another chance. do you know The Unusal Suspects? They've not toured in US (yet) but you may like, short article with video clip here

Thanks for getting back to me. I will catch up on your work later today or this evening.
Lots of non-gather work to do! Your critique is always welcome.

I'm glad you enjoyed my hummingbird story, and shared that about your sister communicating through the cardinal. I fully believe in communications from those who've crossed over. (Psychic/Channel/Medium) Maybe you'll write an article on this family story here on Gather. If you do, I hope you'll remember me and let me know you've posted it.

I'm a little curious, as sometimes symbology spills over into nature, too. Are these members of your family and/or was your sister, Catholic? I work with symbols a lot, and the use of the cardinal perked my curiosity.

Susan, another person told me of similar sentiments as you wrote. To this end, please reread the article, my comments, and my subsequent apologies.

Happy birthday, sister-in-passion! Make sure you listen to your own Mr. D. today and for your present remember "that look" that he gave you! Have a great day.

Thank you Susan and Happy New Year to you too!

It was 40 degrees Celsius ( around 104 degrees Fahren ) here all through the day and night on New Year's Eve and so I just stayed at home with air conditioning on and watched "Twin Peaks".
