Christmas around 2000 or so I heard a girl sing that I do not even know if I have her name correct but I think it was Denice Graves. she sang a song that I am not sure the name of either, I think it was "Come back Mary and Follow" that left three men literaly in tears each trying to hide it from the other and two were defensive lineman for the Auburn Tigers. I am unfamiliar with this singer, but I am sure others know her well as she sang at the memorial for thee World Trade Center I think it was. My point being she has a voice that is as gifted as as any music, that can be produced by any instument on earth, by any person.
It always brings tears to my eyes when my father sang to us when we were young then " One day, when we were young one wonderful morning in May; you told me you love me, one day when we were young........ Sadly missed my father who passed away 8 years ago
