Thank You came about in 03-04 going through the loss of Brian my brother and I was somehow able to still take a look at my life with my wife Carolyn and have a profound feeling to say " Thank You to The Lord" for all that I had and did have for so many years, even though Brian had left us in May of 03.  I could not hold him responsible for what had happened, I wouldn't allow myself to do that, I am glad I didn't do that ! So as the lyrics say, I was thankful for those things that ment the most to me and still do, and how far I had come, form the Streets of NY to the Hills of Ca. to Utah and now to Washington,  Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope All of You will be taken care of and Blessed as we start a New Year 09,,,,Wow....starting to get there now some of us......:)  Gary

<p>&nbsp; Its a fun little diddy !&nbsp; I felt Beatles in that one , also with Not Tomorrow, yes I am very much influenced by what the Beatles did, there are many others too, but that and the Oldies was the start of it !&nbsp;&nbsp; Great Singers back then, a lot of them!</p>

<p>After reading over the blogs, I see how much it has effected me with Brian, and I thought, you know, it is time to move on.&nbsp; Brian would definetly want that, so I am going to , I guess I never made the conscience decision to do so,&nbsp; I can hear him singing a Beatle song along with me, " The Long and Winding Road" or maybe "Here, There &amp; Everywhere" or maybe " Yesterday" he loved em too ! thanks&nbsp; and Time To Move On !&nbsp; Gary</p>

<p>I want to Thank All of You who have replied on this, I didn't really mean to draw attention when I wrote the blog, but It has, we are all affected and we all will be when this happens in our lives, this time it was my turn and&nbsp; I am very thankful for your heart felt comments !&nbsp; I feel like I have been in a "trance" a "comma" for some time, I could feel, but not like I usually do, time to move on and start feeling again.....thanks....Gary</p>

Not Tomorrow is written about my Brother Brian, who we lost from colon cancer after fighting for 3 years,&nbsp; I have never felt like this song did any justice, nor was it able to tell how much I loved him in this song, Being the Oldest of 6, Brian was # 4 , well I watched them all and took care of them all and something&nbsp; was wrong when he left,&nbsp; It hit me very hard, Dr. told him It was just hemroides go on home, 4 different times until Brian said, come on, something is wrong here....and ....It was, next Dr. told him "you have full blown colon cancer" so.....Brian starts the fight of his life at 39 yrs.old,,,,he almost beat it, but the Lord wanted him Home !&nbsp; As for all of you who may read this, Please, get yourselves checked, this is one of the Treatable Cancers if there is early "detection" !&nbsp;&nbsp; The process is only 30 minutes, and you won';t know until its over, really, not bad at all, its just the thought of someone probing around there that I think gets most of us !&nbsp; I almost dropped the song becasue I had such a hard time keeping the tempo or beat somewhat workable, it only came together that Day in Nov., of 06 at the house with a Great Snow falling in the background,,,,,I give a lot of credit to those guys, Mike Allen, sound engineer, Jay Ackerman -Bass, Shaun Boomer - Drums and Jeff Lund Keys for making that happen for me, don't think it would have came about with out them, Thanks for stopping by, Love to All !&nbsp; Now......go get checked !&nbsp;
