Many of you may remember this story because it was so unusual and incredible: a father dying of Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS) who could no longer speak, commissioned a song for his young daughter. The CEO of the ALS Associoation heard the song and had me perform it live for his Board of Directors and then flew me to Washington DC to perform it for the larget-ever gathering of ALS pateints and their families. 

Two years later, the girl for whom this song was commissioned, now a teenager, has comissioned a response song for her father. He is now completely immobile and kept alive by respirator. Her song, and her fahter's original song to her, are both here in music-video format, and below that you can see me interviewed on TV about the intense journey I made with this family on these two songs.

Last weekend I was invited to perform a song in a church...
...and I had an experience that felt so rare, so unexpected, and so connective, that I want to try to put words to it here, and share it with you.

The song is called  "Once Upon a Dog," and I performed it live at the First Parish UU Church in Concord, MA, as part of a weekend-long event there around "Reverence for Life."
