Songs and Stories From Home

Dear Partner,
Some time ago I wrote in my journal that Love means giving just a little more than we can take.

Dear Partner,
For reasons from mundane to profound I will forever remember the Spring of 1997 as my Season of the Heart.

Dear Partner,
December of 1995 was a time for you and Connie to reset the course of your love and your lives.

Dear Partner,
There are moments in our lives when everything changes, that change everything.

Dear Partner, 
A longtime friend from California, Bruce Goddard, had unexpectedly showed up with his daughter on Pat’s and my wedding day. They were a welcome addition to our celebration.

Yours and Connie’s wedding day, August 20, 1994, was a time of joy, filled with music and merriment, prayers, poems, promise, and promises.

Dear Partner,
That song, Part of the River, was written for your dad. I drove to your place right after you called to tell me he’d died. January 11, 1986.

Dear Partner,
For me many of the challenges of life are illuminated in a song I would write not long after we did this concert...

Dear Partner,
When I look back on a still active career of more than 50 years for much of that time I considered myself a songwriter and a singer who loved to tell stories.

Dear Partner, 
In one of the last letters I talked about how life changing it can be when love is bound together with truth and truth with love.
