Alan - was so very sad to learn the news yesterday, felt compelled to offer
a little tribute - hope you're ok with that and with the title?

We've all witnessed your great love for each other - thank you for sharing that,
may you have strength at this time!!

Carl,

This brought me to tears as I listened. I've cried a lot lately, but this was a happy cry.

It's such a lovely, touching song. Thank you so much. She was a terrific lady in every sense, and the tenderness and grace of this song are so appropriate to reflect that. Simply beautiful!

Your gentle touch on the strings well represents who she was. I appreciate this more than I can tell you.

Thank you for the kind words as well.

Alan

Thank you Beth - I found it inspirational that Alan & Di shared their great love here on the forum.
I'm no good with words myself - so when I learnt Sunday of Di passing 5 days earlier I felt moved
to respond the only way I know, this tune was quite emotionally charged so I didn't really expect
others to take to it - very glad it worked for your ears too!

Bob - thanks very much for your lovely comments on "Bird Song",
really glad you found it ok!!
Getting arthritis in the hands & wrists - THAT's a big worry being
a stringed instrument player (and a bit of piano), hoping I can
continue with little tunes a while longer, at 77 later this year
you never know? Trying every natural remedy I can locate
to slow it down (and help the pain).

Beautiful, Carl. Superb touch as always, and the piano work is delicately nuanced as well. Perfect BiaB rhythm section. So very, very well done. Thanks for the thoughtful tribute!
