Hi Jim;
Re: A Wonderful Song about 9-11
I read the posts on Freerepublic.com nearly every day, but I am not a 'poster' myself. I saw your email address as webmaster, and I thought you might be interested in the following:
I have a daughter, Kristi, who wrote a deeply moving song about the terrorist attacks on 9-11. Three weeks after the events of 9-11, we went into the studio and she recorded the song with professional musicians. Since that time, we have been trying to get the song out to the public, as it is very healing for people, but it has mainly been spreading around the world on the internet.
I thought you might want to hear the song; if you go to http://www.kristinelson.com/latest.htm you can both listen to the song and watch the video memorial Kristi put together, using pictures from the web and from firehouse.com. Or you can just click http://www.kristinelson.com/mama.WMV to listen to the song and see the accompanying slides which Kristi created.
Kristi has gotten emails from all over the world about this song, and she feels that has truly been an inspired process from the beginning. She composed the music and wrote the lyrics, and what you will hear is her singing it.
Kristi turned 16 years old this last August. Her song is dedicated to the children of 9-11.
Thanks again for your time. I appreciate the job you all are doing to keep our nation free; God bless you and let me know what you think.
Dr. Brad Nelson

Thank you for the ping Snow Bunny
After watching this I'm crying rivers of tears. I cry out of sadness, but I also cry in anger. I will NEVER "get over it"! And, if one more idiot says to me that I have to understand why these evil bastards did this, I will be sure to show them just how I feel. They'd better stay clear of me.

"I know what's its like to lose a parent as a teen. This song I can relate to."
Same here.
Me too.
And I have a son who writes, composes and performs only his own creations and who became a "star" at 16.
Quite a moving little experience, here.
