I enjoyed reading your review! I wanted to make a comment about the song If Children Had Wings since he sang it in Kalamazoo too. He did so without an introduction and as he began I heard the woman on my left comment to her friend she'd never heard the song before. I quietly explained a bit of the song's history to her, that he wrote it for his children as you noted. Not too long into the song she reached into her purse for a tissue .... she cried throughout the remainder of the song, dabbing away tears, and into part of IYCRMM which followed. I remember doing the same thing the first time I heard it too. I can't imagine how he must have felt at the time he wrote it. And all these years later to be able to stand on stage and sing it . . . .
