Hi, KOS!!!  

I'm just saying hello, then I want to go back and read your post.

Is the son pictured the one who also sings so marvelously?  

This is Bryan, John, the singer's, older brother.  But Bryan has sung with us.  In fact as 2000 turned to 2001, Bryan, John and I were called to come sing to a friend who was dying of AIDS.  We had become friends with this man through Bryuan.  And we did for three hours until Terry had died. But this is my child, the middle, who is off the charts when it comes to empathy and has been that way since he was very little, and we would go to sing at nursing homes some Sunday afternoons.  One Sunday when he was four, he disappeared.  We found him sitting on the bench next to the elevator.  He was  holding and stroking the hands of old people who were in their wheel chairs and waiting for their turn on the elevator.  That afternoon on Dec. 31, 2000 as the three of us sang, Bryan, who was now 24, also spent the afternoon rubbing the feet of our friend who was in hospice care at home.
