Thanks for posting Al. I highly respect someone who takes the time to help educate our young people. Peter is one caring artist to do this and I'm sure the kids were thrilled. Al is Helen a teacher? My wife is a middle school teacher, at times not an easy job but very rewarding and she loves it.

I think Helen has a remarkable voice, filled with (at times) anguish and pathos. And your playing, as always, is gorgeous. You get every gram of tone out of that guitar.

I was stunned by the Matthew Shepherd case when it happened, and the more we can remind people how ugly intolerance is, the better.

Congratulations on a great performance of a very worthy subject.

Maybe, after seeing my video and yours, other folks will join with their partners for some duets. That would be really nice.
Thanks for your comments, Dennis. Having uploads from other partners would be great-- and just in time for Valentine's Day!
;)

Hey Kenny,
You're right about Peter- it was inspiring to see and hear him play. He leaves for a tour of Europe this thursday (I think). Speaking of that- anyone in Europe who's interested should check him out- he's obviously amazing live!

I taped another song of his that hasn't been released yet-- I'll ask his permission if I can post it yet or not.

Yes Helen is a teacher, and she loves it as well.

Sorry- I kind of dropped the ball on responses to this thread. It must have been when I was traveling.

Tom, Stuart, Hydroman, Suzi, Other Stuart, Bob, Jimbo, Michele, Rick, Tony, Pete, Scott- thank you for taking the time to view (or re-view).

As always dragging my feet trying to keep up around here, i think it is impossible.


well i had never heard of this you were right so i googled it , not exactly a feel good story no :( just tragic that a human can do that to another human. It blows me away that they felt murder was a less of a crime than being gay!!!" the heart is desperately wicked, who can know it ?"

her hum back to the performance ... very moving you both are wonderful :) thank you for sharing and i watched peter too yes he is good as well.

I have been deeply touched by this ... the power of music eh I just saw the whole event while listening to the words :( :(

thanks Al i guess :unsure:

Yes Brad. Tragic is as appropriate word as any.

Indeed sad that this song was ever written.
