All The Pretty Girls of Gorey
I dreamed I saw an angel in the middle of the road
She looked on me in sorrow, as if she saw my soul
Her skin was alabaster, her hair a fiery red
With emerald eyes she called me, but my feet had turned to lead
Sing me a new song when you open up the ground
Gone will be the soul of me when you lay my body down
Sing me a new song, a song that makes you brave
And all the pretty girls of Gorey will dance upon my grave
She stretched her hand to take me and said “your time is nigh
Now gather up your courage and bid this world goodbye
And walk among the voices that whisper in the wind
And weave between the ages as the light of earth grows dim”
Sing me a new song when you open up the ground
Gone will be the soul of me when you lay my body down
Sing me a new song, a song that makes you brave
And all the pretty girls of Gorey will dance upon my grave

Each Moment
Living each moment in early morning rain
Take in the sunrise hearing birds again
Holding each moment in patient caring hands
Life is what happens when we're busy making plans
Being each moment no matter where we are
Breathe in the pauses, healing painful scars
Holding each moment in patient caring hands
Life is what happens when we're busy making plans
Loving each moment in laughter and tears
A kindly word spoken can make a smile appear
Holding each moment in patient caring hands
Life is what happens when we're busy making plans
Nowhere to be, nothing to do, no agenda to fulfill
Just living, holding, being, loving
Life is better still

Mark Hootman Washington, Illinois
I have been enjoying and playing music for most of my life. In retirement from social work, I have taken more time to cultivate my photography and music interests. Writing, alone and with others, playing, recording and stretching as an artist have become a great joy for me. I hope to add some joy and beauty into the world as well as write honestly about issues like life, faith, loss and more. ... more

Mercyland- Vol. 1
by Phil Madeira & Friends
A great collection of Americana / Gospel songs that reintroduced me to Phil Madeira's music and has led to a true friendship. Artistic, thoughtful and inspiring in all the right ways!

Steve Hindalong, Derri Daugherty and Dan Michaels outdid themselves with this stellar rock album. So many great songs and sounds from driving rock to melodic and atmospheric sounds.
