great story, great song.

related note- have you heard The Hooters' cover? Fantastic. It's on 2007's "Time Stand Still" record, which is a fine piece of plastic altogether.

Henley himself said he likes their version.

Wow! What a great dedication to your mom. I vaguely remember you being on crutches, but I will never forget your mom and dad. They were always around and offered support to their kids and to fellow students. You are truly blessed to have them. Happy Birthday to your Mom.

Sorry for maybe getting a bit off topic, but you must be related to Budd Malchus. He was the marching band director when I went to high school in North Olmsted quite a few years before you. Casey Kreichbaum was the head of the music department then.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Malchus!

Scott, you mom is a wonderful nurturer and has clearly passed that value on to you – this was a lovely tribute to her!
