I have been on the road for half of the past month. Recording A Thousand Years, out of town performances and Boy Scout camp outs have been integrated with life during this stretch. This afternoon I took my daughter to her first swim team practice and stumbled on some great lines by C.S. Lewis that got me thinking…”If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probably explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. Aim at Heaven and you will get earth “thrown in”: aim at earth and you will get neither.”

My mother passed away on this day 2011. My father who was born in Denton N.C. passed away on the 23rd of April 2005. He could have been related to you. Your music is comforting and beautiful. Sincerly Mark F. Lanier
