Hi Kathryn,

      Thank you for commenting. John did live a short, strange, and sad life, and died a horrible death. His death is still a mystery to those who knew him. I'm actually not crazy about the song. I guess that's why I posted it. I knew I'd never do anything with it. When I read it, I think of all the things that were going through my head at that time. That usually leaves me in sort of a funk. When you hear it with the music I wrote it's even worse. I think my friend John would have hated it. I'd say my post was a downer and pretty much left no one wanting to discuss that whole area. Can't blame them. I'm doing alright though. 

  Sorry to hear of the troubles with your friends mother. I hope all is well with you. Thanks for the good thoughts, they are already working. I'll send them your way as well...down under on the Rainbow Coast right?
