Very glad the Caphasol has been of some help Charm. So glad you and the Mrs. had a wondeful evening...those days or normalcy are so few and far between when in the trenches. Those are some really great songs you mentioned. It's amazing how powerful music can be, especially when you're dealing with this beast. A

P. S. During our time in U of C, there were a couple of musicians (guitar and cello) who came in once a week to play for the patients...this was their music ministry. The were very good and could play anything. We found that music took on an extra special meaning when you're sitting next to an IV pole of 5FU and listening between rads. That said, one week, a patient took over the guitar, starting singing a gospel song, something we would have ordinarily loved, however listening to him sing about waiting for his loved one on the other side of the shore was just too much for all of us.

P.S.S. You are now in the same catagory as Eric for making me cry this morning...keeping my eye on you!
