      1. May I have permission to reprint “I Go To Sing” in our church newsletter? I just found your blog via a fellow choir member and love this poem. I would, of course, give attribution and a link to your blog.

  10. I read your comments in “These Days” tonight. Amongst the best I’ve read in 30 + years. Why weren’t you listed in the “About the authors” at the front of the magazine? I will look for more of your writings.

  11. A poem attributed to you popped up on my FB. It may have the title MUSIC! and starts “I might be exhausted ….”. It really spoke to my heart, especially in this time of zoom-church. I would love to share it in our church newsletter. Please contact me. Thank you.
