Lonely Vagabond	Jul 16 2009 9:53 AM That was a great set at Holy Joes. A singer-songwriter troubadour, folk-inflected storytelling with a wistful delivery. Fleshing-out the set with delightful commentary, this is poignant, heartfelt, music that drenches you like a warm sheet of sunlight. Keep to your musical vision.

Songwriter- Dakota Williams	Apr 6 2009 6:45 PM One day when God felt generous, <br />He looked down at me and smiled, <br />"Since I feel so magnanimous, <br />I'd like to give you something, child. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />He asked me what I wanted, <br />I said, "Oh, really nothing more, <br />You've done so much already. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />" <br />He said, "That's what God is for. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />"You have been pretty good," He said, <br />I know there's not much that you seek, <br />I will pick a little something, <br />Just to make your life complete. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />With great anticipation, <br />I looked forward to my gift, <br />I wondered what God had in mind, <br />That would give me such a lift. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />"This gift," God said, "You realize, <br />Bears some responsibility, <br />So, if you accept my present, <br />You must be willing to agree"... <br /> <br />"To offer unconditionally, <br />A section or a part, <br />Of more than half of you, <br />The larger portion of your heart. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />"Okay, God," I answered, <br />"Since in You, I always trust, <br />I'll meet your obligation, <br />In the manner that I must. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />To myself, I thought, wow!, what a gift, <br />For so much of me, God's asked, <br />Now what could be so valuable, <br />That my share was more than half? <br /> <br />With both hands I sought my gift, <br />I still did not have a clue, <br />Then God put your hand in mine, <br />And said His gift to me was YOU! <br /> <br />Thank you for your friendship! <br />Thinking of You, sending my love & prayers!! Hugs! :) Take care & God bless!!

allison	Mar 19 2009 11:09 PM Thanks for setting up No Depression Canada. <br /> <br />It has been awesome already and will only get better. <br /> <br />Cool to be friends. <br /> <br />I used to live in Lorne Park. <br /> <br />Small world.
