And just marvel at this talent..  all without musical instruments.  I am one happy Dad today (as you can guess), and I got this from my sister-in-law.  (the rainstorm at the beginning is ..........well, there are no words to describe it.....)

Please enjoy.

   I would say "ooo rah", but it wouldn't be gentlemanly.  I don't count hits on a Youtube video as a rule, but crowding 5 million would, I think be pretty impressive.  All in all, very nice.  Thanks Jim, and go ahead and luxuriate...

Oh for God's sake...  I saw that exchange, and the ONE time this year, I agree with you! 

 ..  My son is a former Marine, now in the Navy, I was in the Army, and my son-in-law is in the Air Force.  You can use whatever expression of military joy/agreement you wish.  We have the bases covered. 

You can be ungentlemanly in lots of ways, but that wasn't one of them.

I'm glad you enjoyed the piece.

Jim...

Love it.

Thank you for posting that, Jim.  Two of my sisters sent only the 'rain/thundershower' portion in a .wav file to me via email, asking that I close my eyes and listen to the storm.  I searched and searched trying to find the group who performed it and was unsuccessful.  I'm going to send the entire vid back to my sisters so they can enjoy the entire performance, too.  It's wonderful!

That was beautiful.  When I have time, I'll look at more of their videos.

 

Jim

I am so happy for you this morning . 

In my world there is always a country song that says it all.

IN MY DAUGHTER'S EYES

 

In my daughter's eyes, I am a hero.
I am strong an' wise,
And I know no fear.
But the truth is plain to see:
She was sent to rescue me,
I see who I wanna be, in my daughter's eyes.

In my daughter's eyes, everyone is equal,
Darkness turns to light,
And the world is at peace.
This miracle God gave to me,
Gives me strength when I am weak.
I find reason to believe, in my daughter's eyes.

An' when she wraps her hand around my finger,
Oh, it puts a smile in my heart.
Everything becomes a little clearer.
I realise what life is all about.
It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough;
It's givin' more when you feel like givin' up.
I've seen the light: it's in my daughter's eyes.

In my daughter's eyes, I can see the future.
A reflection of who I am,
An' what will be.
An' though she'll grow an', some day, leave:
Maybe raise a family,
When I'm gone, I hope you'll see,
How happy she made me,
For I'll be there, in my daughter's eyes.

Awesome!

Sandee, Thanks for posting those lyrics even though you made me cry.

Absolutely beautiful.

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and
all the less important ones just never go away.
And the real pains in the ass are permanent.

Thanks so much for sharing that, Jim!   I listened to several more of their pieces, too, while I was there.
