Music is a spice of life! I plan to post a musical selection each day of the year, based on reflection on events of my days.

Day 7 - 217 -- A Musical Departure
While working online today, I read news of the loss of a wonderful songwriter -- Michael P. Smith. He was big in the Chicago folk scene and wrote and recorded many songs. Many other artists covered his songs. I knew of this man mainly through another singer-songwriter, James Lee Stanley, who wrote an amazing tribute to Smith in American Songwriter.
In honour of this man, who didn't want online eulogies, the selection today is one of his songs -- filled with tenderness and spectacular word pictures. He sings this with a friend. Stay safe. Enjoy!
