#SongsOfComfort

[@jbbevan]

Yo-Yo Ma is not only (arguably) the premier cellist of the world but he is also a totally admirable human being...selfless..self effacing...even humble (not a top 10 trait these days). In this time of strife he is a role model for us all. Thank you "Maestro" for your contributions to all of us.

Thank you Mr. Ma. This music hit home as my wedding was cancelled in the summer and my love and I got separated between Canada and the U.S., at one time we went to see each other and waive our arms across Niagara Falls. We are thankfully reunited now and enjoying married life.

Ivan Uriegas this is one of the most beautiful anecdotes I've read recently. Congratulations to you and your love

[@ivanuriegas3905]

Thank you @@CraigCrowder! I appreciate it.

[@kpepperl319]

I'm so happy things worked out for you... Separation from the love of your life is painful. May you and your spouse have the rest of your days being happy, healthy and full of love

[@craigkeller]

CONGRATULATIONS 🎊🎉! We pray you both have only the best life offers! Ok, maybe a little rain now and then but even during those times, Joy!

@@Emmareads15 Thank you for your concern about us. When I saw what was going on today, I played "My Country Tis of Thee" on my guitar just to remind myself of the bigger picture of the USA. And then I realized that I was playing your national anthem!!!! LOL! Take good care.
