[Oe List ...] THANKS to ALL that FOREWARDED

[Jack Gilles]

David,

I think your suggestion is great!  We often think of our songs and singing only in relationship to our corporate and individual spirits, but I believe you and Dixie are right in opening up this form of "formation".   I could see some great new songs, posted on UTube that could reach a whole new level of Those Who Care.  It will take some careful work, but it's one of the best ideas of "getting our wisdom into history" that I've heard.  Let's go for it!

G&P,

Jack
