On October 27th, 2018, I sat down at my aging S950 and put this song together. I named it "A Tribute To Don Mason". At the time, Don said he absolutely loved the song, but I don't know if Susan had an opportunity to hear the song. Thought it would be fitting to post it here, on the site he created. You can find it at https://app.box.com/s/ybfk7ni9qs7xhux41buxw50al655ylu3

Ironically, my wife, Carol, has never heard it, and when I played it for her today, she cried her eyes out, lamenting at how many of our great, musician friends we have lost over the past decade. Gotta admit, it brought tears to my eyes as well.
Hope you folks enjoy listening to the song as much as I enjoyed creating it.
All the best,
Gary 😎

This is beautiful, Gary! I won't lie, I'm not that fluent in English to catch up all the words, but the story about entertainers put in a song is a great idea and you performed it in the way which suits it well.
