A wonderful man!

I inherited the LP with this song from my father when he died many years ago. It made me cry for a long time, and helped me understand and resolve my father's death. I think it is beautiful that this song was one of the things my father left behind for me, which passed on to me the things that he loved. It still makes me cry.

I really like your song. Thank you.

Great song! It was great hearing Si in concert in Seattle last Saturday too. Such a great activist, songwriter & storyteller.

This is my favorite song in the world! If I was on death row and only had one song to listen to, this would be it! I love you Si Kahn. Used your children's album in the classroom for years. Thank you! But I can't share it on my facebook?? Any ideas?
