the dance.

i've been reading a friend's pre-published manuscript. at the heart of the story it is a timeless love story with some amazing twists and turns. as i was reading i was so inspired by the story that i literally had to stop in the middle and play guitar. as i played the melody in my head the lyrics that continued to take over were not my own. they lyrics belong to a guy named tony arata.

as you guys have already read, my dear friend passed away. during that time i sang this song over and over as i grieved. i even quoted it at the end of my memorial blog. the thing i learned later...mark's brother, danny, sang this song at the memorial. such a powerful and beautiful song.

i am so thankful for music that speaks to your soul. i am also thankful for beautiful stories that do the same. so thanks to tony arata for the beautiful lyrics and thank you to rae ann parker for the beautiful story and loving friendship.
