Details:
The song on this CD I wrote about 26 years ago. It was very personal to me and I never thought about putting it on tape at that time. I wrote it probably a day or two after John Lennon was shot to death in December, 1980.At that time I was just thinking to myself: "What would you do if you knew that he won't make a sound anymore?" The answer came to me quickly. I probably wouldn't "DO" anything. I would just "BE a little bit sadder, a little bit wiser." Thinking back on that time I think the emotions inside of me that shaped those thoughts were feelings of sadness and fear and maybe feelings of total vulnerability - no protection from the madness that seemed to be invading every corner of our society.

The only thing I did with the song for many years was to share it with family and friends. I never thought about making a record of it because of the personal thoughts in it and the tragedy of that moment. People who heard it always said âyou SHOULD put that on tape and let more people HEAR itâ. In late November of 2000 I became aware that December 8th of that year would mark the 20th anniversary of the assassination of John Lennon. At that time I thought maybe the time had come to share this song, these thoughts with more people. I quickly went into a small studio in Wilmington, Delaware with my daughter Ellen and my son Brian and we recorded the song one night in late November 2000.

The recording is played on several radio stations each year around the anniversary of his death. I hope you enjoy this tribute to John Lennon. I think it has some good thoughts for a great song writer who touched us all in a special and lasting way.
