God bless you and his family always!!!

P.S. Do not forget that he is also the singer of the Growing Pains TV show song.
Listen to my most favorite singer here sometime, James Otto that is!

My Mom played the church piano/organ for many years - ever since I can remember, in fact, for regular services and for occasions, if people asked her. The last time I heard her play she was definitely not tickling the ivories – she was hammering out a thunderous “Onward Christian Soldiers” at my Dad’s funeral – gosh, those keys took a real beating! And now, suddenly, without warning, she too has gone. Surreal, sad time.

My condolences Ruby. It's never easy trying to come to terms with these things when they happen. As you so aptly say - surreal and sad at the same time.

Another goodbye - this time to Robby Steinhardt of Kansas. R.I.P. He was 71. A good reminder to make the most of things - we really are all

Big loss - His contribution to Kansas was immense. Another one of my heroes gone. RIP.
