I too had Beautiful played at my wedding - and it was always my favourite song. Then after 28 years of marriage, with suitcases packed he walked out june 11/02 (surprise on me!) and it sort of lost favour with me...Funny how that can happen!
Thankfully it now means much more because of many of the folks here and some of the pickers and players who gave me new memories to hold in my heart after hearing them play it for me.

It certainly is a wonderful song and I thank you for telling me your "Beautiful" story.

congrats to you and the Mrs.!!

Char,
I am so sorry to strike a sad chord I did not know of. Please forgive me while I extract my 11 1/2 4EEEE foot from my mouth. I may have also misread or remembered previous posts wrong regarding the song Beautiful and you. Not only did I think others thought of you with it in this thread, I thought I'd remembered it being a favourite of yours. Oops...

I'm glad once again the song is finding some favour with you; I truly hope it can bring that "Lightfoot" feeling again if it does not now. I'd sure understand. Sorry again for the unpleasant memory. Perhaps a different GL song will take a very special meaning for you in the future, as I am sure many do now, to say the least.

I'd better put in check now my Teutonic penchant for making a bad situation worse by talking more about it once known to be a verbal blunder !

Oh - thanks for the kind comment about Merry and I, it was very thoughtful of you. - later...
Geo Steve

No need to be sorry! That was then and this is now - the song has a new wonderful meaning for me and when it and Rainy Day People play I am reminded of the friendships I have found through the author of that magical song.
All is good with "Beautiful" now and I look forward to hearing it with a new and joyous set of emotions.

jbt,

FYI - good news regarding the Keswick for 2007. Tickets are now on sale for April 27, 2007 @ 8:00PM. I just ordered online and got tickets in row CC on the left. Same spot as once before I think.
