Once again my attempt to heighten awareness of the talents of a great singer/songwriter...CTW. Also to bring enjoyment and some measure of pleasure to long standing fans and admirers of CTW's work and enduring legacy. This is a particularly poignant and melancholic song composed I feel with great sincerity and feeling...I hope my personal efforts in some way come close to doing it justice. This is also esp dedicated to my friend Cass once more who brought this song back into my consciousness..deeply endebted. Never forget the past and live within the present with an eye to the future! Pax to all my friends...enjoy. All comments and views valued.
