Some people just seem to evoke music...either by something they've done, said, or a feeling about them.

Do you have a song you want to dedicate to someone?

I have many :)

This one is for Meister...large landscapes....empty winds....and a longing for a place called Idaho. Truthfully, I should choose Man in the Silver Mountain because he introduced me to Rainbow, but this song is for Meister.

All that love all those mistakes
What else can a poor man make?
So I gave up a life of crime
I gave it to a friend of mine
Something else was on my mind
The only ghost I'm haunted by
I hear her howling down below
Idaho oh Idaho

Wolves oh wolves oh can't you see?
Ain't no wolf can sing like me
And if it could then I suppose
He belongs in Idaho
Packs of dogs and cigarettes
For those who ain't done packing yet
My clothes are packed and I want to go
Idaho oh Idaho

Out at sea for seven years
I got your letter in Tangier
Thought that I'd been on a boat
Til that single word you wrote
That single word it landlocked me
Turned the masts to cedar trees
And the winds to gravel roads
Idaho oh Idaho

This one is for Alan - my little brother, in a manner of speaking, who's wicked humor and generous heart has introduced me to a wide range of music. No surprise - it has to be Janice ;)

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose...
 
Hey Coyote,

This one is for Intense...I see compassion and integrity, and a deep love of music - this song is you:

Why don't we listen to the voices in our hearts
'Cause then I know we'd find we're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy
Everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life
The peace that love can bring

This song is for another member here, who is also a man of integrity, courage and kindness, and who introduced me to Blackmore's Night (which now exists as a Pandora station) - this one is for Ollie :)

Big Black Dog,
I thought of doing Led Zeppelins Black Dog for you, but I think this one is better
