    I came back from Vietnam and my wife would sing this song to me at night when i woke up screaming. Memories are not always good.

      Sorry for your loss.. Moms are special.

You follow the same course by the examples she set for you. You become her. That's why you never truly lose her because she lives within you.

    This song came on the radio right when I started my car as I was leaving the church to go to to the cemetery to bury my mom. I bawled all the way there and still am, 2 years later. Hug your mom today, tell her how much you love her, get as much time spent with her recorded so you can hear her voice and see her beautiful smile. I didn’t do that How I wish I would’ve

      It wouldn't matter how much time you spent with your mom, it would never be enough. Keep positive. Let her know you love her. You'd be surprised at how those we miss tend to show up in ways you wouldn't expect. I'm sorry about your mom, but I don't think it's the end. Just a strange in between point.

I met a girl named Susan who wouldn't leave my side. I must have kissed her about 50 times, all the while listening to side one of the James Taylor album "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon"

    Michelle brings incredible innocence and sincerity in the intro, like a gently flowing stream. Then, all harmonies hit. The words and music open the floodgates. I could cry knowing such a powerful, beautiful musical era is long gone, never to return. Or maybe. In my novel, Soothing The Savage Beat, by E. Augustine, I describe a dystopian future where such beautiful, sensible music has long been forgotten, but may be revived in an attempt to restore sanity in a world gone mad. Music is the therapy we need. And we need both. Even today, but by tomorrow we'll be desperate for both.
