A Moment to ReflectLately it seems that while life may take a long time that

it is over much too soon. It is hard to believe that I’ve been

singing with Mike McCoy for more than forty-six years and it’s

been forty-three years since I started singing with The Brothers Four. One

of the things that make this One of Those Times in a Life is that making

music and sharing the journey with McCoy and The Brothers Four is more satisfying

than ever and while it still feels like the best days might still be in front

of us I am also aware of how precious each day and performance is.The video

in Episode Five is called When I Was Young and This Old Guitar Was New. It

talks about the many things I didn’t know when this all began as

well as a sense of wonder and love I feel at this point in the journey. The

audio essay is called The Mourning Ryde. That’s the name of the

group McCoy and I were part of in college. The story in the essay talks mostly

about the group’s brief brush with fame and fortune.
