Don, something almost identical happened to a good friend and mentor of mine. This brought back painful memories of the occasion but beautiful memories of my friend. Beautifully written. Publishable quality for sure (but then, that's not the point). The soul of the true artist is always on display. A wonderful tribute.

Thank you so much friends.
Last night at the club I showed the lyrics to one of the staff and they said I should put music with it. It was slow, so I picked a style I thought might fit, started playing and singing it. I had no idea where I was going with chord structure or melody! Anyway I turned on the recorder and I think I'll share it with you here.
It is by no means a song yet. I would have to edit it and reduce the length, smooth out structure and pay attention to the melody, but what the heck, here it is.

Loved it, you have a great talent. I played it to my wife, she recognized your voice immediately and appreciated the song as much as I did.

Don your song is good, there’s warmth, sadness and love.

I got the feeling that with some of the great performers leaving this world, and our good friend Gary stepping back, there is a bit of you in this song also.

Thanks for sharing Don Mason with us.

John C.
