Reminds me of my favorite Bob Seeger lyric: "I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." (from "Against The Wind")
I'll second the motion of IZ doing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," and he does one version mixing it with "What a Wonderful World."
Can't have enough protection around the old homestead.
Hard to beat this one from Maria Muldaur:

It was done with Bonnie Raitt as tribute to Barack Obama, but covers the whole spectrum. It's on her new CD ("Yes We Can") not to be confused with "Yes We Can" by Will-I-Am.
Another one that I like, from the French actress Jeanne Moreau: “Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.”
Daryn: I would get involved with a group like this: http://www.do1thing.org/ (just wanted to make you aware of them).

Then it got my dad.
But my sister ...

Inspired by Carly Simon
This is from Carly's own new blog post:
... "I'm also recording a song for an album for the Stuttering Foundation that I am a part of in NY. A song that a young girl wrote and recorded. She sings it like an angel. So much better than I could ever hope to sing it. She's about thirteen or fourteen and the stutter that she has allows her to communicate
through the medium of singing. I know most of you know that this is what I also went through as a child, a teenager and to a lesser degree, now. I'… Continue

Erin, 2009 made me grow up. I had to seek me last year and then correct some of the things. But I know that I took a step forward even though life tried to keep me back.
