Faithful readers of John's blog are often reminded of the power of music for both John and his family, especially with respect to how certain music can heal the soul. Several months ago, the healing power of music once again came into the life of John's family and friends when Emily Arin and her friend Jason gave a home concert on our back deck.
Emily has since released her first studio recorded album, "Patch of Land." The liner notes to this album (see below) reflects the healing power that Emily's music has had for John's parents.
The album contains "When You Knew Me When," the song that particularly moved John's Dad one evening when Vin Scelsa played it back to back (and with which Emily subsequently opened and closed her concert overlooking St. Clements Bay this past summer).
