I realize my comment is late, and probably a little off topic. I have been listening often to the music of Jeff Buckley (late 80s/early 90s) especially his “Hallelujah” (a radiant expression of the poetic lyrics of the great Leonard Cohen). This piece feeds my soul to this day.

~ Gratitude to you, Jeff Buckley ~ on this 15th anniversary of your mysterious early death in the Mississippi River … (November 17, 1966 – May 29, 1997)

Gratitude, as well, to your father ~ Tim Buckley ~ (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) He also died too young, but he fed my soul and lit the way through the ’60s. Honor to both of you, poetic troubadours of your time on this earth.
