Let's face it people, times are tough. We are in a recession and unemployment is rising. We just finished up a tough election season and while a little over half the people are pleased, just a bit under half the people are not. While gas is low now, we were gouged like never before over the last year. Food prices went up during the same period.
Things haven't been as good as they could have been. And we are looking for answers. We are looking for something to make us feel better both about the state of the world and ourselves. We could turn to many things in these tough times. Some people go down the wrong roads and look to drugs, or alcohol. Others choose religion and find peace in God. Some buy things to feel better and others turn to comfort foods.
I offer you something else to make you feel good, if only for a moment. It can take your day, and turn it around. It can bring friends together and help them share a song and a laugh. It so simple, yet at the same time, very complex. It is a miracle cure in my estimation. What is this wonderful answer?
People of the world, I give you...
Steve Perry
You are welcome.

Next up... a poem by the similarly named, but totally unrelated Steve Perriman.

"I must have been a dreamer---- oh-e-oh
Oh I must have been some one else...."
These things..... these are the special things in life.
