ALL MY LIFE'S A CIRCLE

JLM and JB were honored by World Hunger Year (Harry Chapin's charity). "Bruce arrived late, ate dinner, was made to sound like he was the honoree as everyone praised him for leading the way etc. Jackson played one song and then Tom Chapin lead everyone, including Bruce strumming someone's guitar in a Harry Chapin song. One of the other musicians sang a verse and changed the lyrics with a born in the usa reference. Bruce chuckled."

TERRY'S SONG

On 30th July, Terry Magovern, long time associate and close friend to Bruce passed away. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

At Terry Magovern's memorial service Bruce performed a new song called "Terry's Song". Bruce said "went through his songbook and was looking for an appropriate song to play for Terry. Out of all my songs, there was nothing I could find. So I wrote this song." The song was very nice and had some of these lines in it: "When they built you brother, they broke the mold." And: "We can rebuild our mighty towers but we can't rebuild the soul."
