From "Somewhere USA"

"I'd never lie, well you know I've tried"

Just those few words alone carry a whopping punch. I't like he's baring his soul.

It's a line that's always resonated with me and I was so happy to hear the song performed by John Stinson and Paul Bartlett at the recent tribute show in Aurora. Great job guys. It's not one that we hear too often.

Great topic Anthony and there's no reason to ask for forgiveness especially considering the vast numbers of us who sing the songs regularly and never tire of the beautiful lyrics. The topic did surface somewhere in the past but clearly it's one that's always bound to be a huge draw.

Cheers, RJ.
