  Oh and I don't think I ever really explained the reason - in a few days it would be my father's birthday - well he would be 97 - but he died 26 years ago so it is just math. But when he turned 60 - he got the whole of the primary school to learn to sing a song "the rose of sharon" is was a song he loved and his sister used to sing on radio - and sang it when he turned 20 so it was special. I don't now why my thinking returns to this song other than the obvious - I haven't heard in it 36 years but don't remember religious overtones except for the fact that yes it is that Sharon - the town of biblical times - I remember it as a long song.

  Yeah, UM, I had noticed, was curious and all, but also am aware you've been keeping to yourself a little bit lately...so did not want to intrude - I gathered enough to see it is important to you, I guess... :) And with all the downloadable music on the Internet these days, I was intrigued that you hadn't hound it; I wanted to try...I Googles 'Rose of Sharon Listen' ('cause I didn't want sheet music - you had found that already! I wonder if we have the title quite accurate enough?

  & I didn't mention that this is a pic of a flower, a kind of hibiscus whcih comes in different colours - called 'Rose of Sharon'! There was one site that had many pics, of varieties, seed pods even - some very nice pics - I may well use them some day; should I just send the pics I chose to choose from for this brick, to you? I don't know if it will work - sometimes my computer won't let me send pictures as attachments...grrrr as Jomo would say.

  Take good care, UM, follow your instincts; you know that though.
