On this fiftieth anniversary of Earth Day it's important to realize nothing they predicted came to pass.

Ain't it the truth? As an aside, I'll point out that songwriters Michel Legrand, Alan and Marilyn Bergman wrote a great song, "One Day," for the first Earth Day. The lyrics are sappy, as you'd expect, but the tune is wonderful. I wrote a great arrangement for a singer friend of ours to sing at a gig we had at a local pagan "church," and afterwards Martha cleaned up the lyrics to include God, and now it says what it should say.

The gal isn't singing as well as she used to (ADD) but once this bullcrap is over I wonder if I can beat on her and get her going again? I
really did a nice arrangement, she loves it, with Martha's lyrics changes it's the way it now should be, and we really ought to record it. If we do, I can send it to you.
Doggone it, I'm a-gonna send the babe an e-mail tonight and tell her we need to do it when life returns to normal, because IT NEEDS TO BE DONE!

The singer's very enthusiastic! I'll tell her to use this time to get herself back in vocal shape -- I admit I'll have to start playing again too -- and once Gov. Tim "Adolf Hitler" Walz lets us congregate again, we'll try to record it, and I can send you a CD.

That would be wonderful Dana! Hopefully your Governor lets you guys go at some point. I'm starting to think a lot of these guys are liking the way it is and we may have to force them to let our people go.
