Kris, if you are reading these comments, I just listened to each and every one of these songs tonight consecutively and I must say that I am in awe of the insight you had about life's situations and of your complete candor and honesty. I have gained such an admiration for you because of this as It took a lot of courage to be so "naked and open" before the public ...just evidence of the sincerity and lack of hypocrisy on your part. You are a great poet/songwriter and have a wonderful voice, even now. Although I am your age , this is the first time I have taken the time to really listen to the words of your songs . Thankyou for sharing your heart .. It has been a blessing to me and I would love to meet your someday.
