I’m sitting here in the den with Victoria, taking a few moments to write something by hand before we start going over music. This is part of a new approach for me.

Goodbye Albert
I lost a friend the other day. As I think on it now I have to admit that I didn’t know him very well. Our friendship was still fairly new when he died. But I’d already found a great fondness in my heart for him. He would come running when he saw me, and he… Continue reading Goodbye Albert
