three strikes for tst (or 4) |

DAMBers-
briefly-
i mentioned b4 that I sing once a month at the Cty Jail- and enjoy doing DA and related stuff.
Last night I tried Wall of Heaven-
and three of the guys started cryin right there. One fellow said after the song was done
"Man- that one hurt-what a great thing to know people still care about me"(Obviously a loved one)
Afterward we all jaw a bit- and ALL three (at different moments) asked me for the words- to that song.
The jail staff kindly let me run three copies of what I had (I credited Terry on the tune- felt good about that- its sure not mine)
and gave away my lyric sheet as well- totaling 4.
They have never actually asked for the words before...but could see the hope that others still have for them (including you Terry)
so ...what a blessing for me to be another vehicle for the Poet.
Love and regards
JimIny
(THAT WS BRIEF???)

Very cool story, that song is really inspired.
I think I will forward this to Terry to make sure he sees
it..

Wall of heaven is very powerful. It is my favorite lost dogs tune so far. It's hard to listen to it without shedding a tear for me. I'm glad it touched others as well. God bless you for working in a jail ministry.

JC - that is so cooool. Makes me feel guilty for not doing more - I am raising two beautiful girls in a Christian home - but working in the public school is tough - I'm part of the Christian club here, but, man, you have to be careful these days - I haven't developed Paul's love for getting thrown in jail yet....

I knows it
It is hard not to gloat though........
I'm churchless right now too.....
I hate it, but we're having a hard time finding a place here....churches seem so plastic these days....not really concerned with the things they should be concerned with...

How very cool, my friend. One of my fave places to play has always been the Bread of Life mission in Seattle. Haven't been there in eons and your story is twisting my arm to go back for my own good--seems I'm the one who gets the blessing from going.

Theo -et all
I am hoping in the process of me gettin blessed-
it rubs off and out.
One of the best parts is that "ilk" can spot a phoney a mile away. (well played mannerisms-after all, they are all innocent!)
So just hanging me own self out there works best- its very relaxed and informal-yet personal.
