I once worked for a law firm who had a client that scheduled "random acts of charity." The idea of scheduling a random act seemed as absurd then as it does now, so I decided to have Random Acts, mostly of music, a sporadic stream of consciousness, if you will.

In My Life
Although I haven't performed it since 1989, this song was one I played every time, either on stage or busking in Cork, Ireland. Over the years, in my mind, the line "I love you more" applied to different women, and, after his death, to John Lennon.
While the Beatles could not have been what they were without the contributions of all 4, Lennon was the star among stars. I still recall the excitement of hearing "I wanna hold your hand" on the radio when it was a new release by a new band. How amazing to have been witness to their progress! I still have every vinyl album they released in the US,although I no longer own a means to play them (how dumb is that?)
"Some are dead and some are living / In my life, I've loved them all"
The Universe will not test you beyond your measure, but it is still your decision whether or not to take the test.
And remember: things are not always as they seem!
