TRUE STORY - 2
OF A FORMER CANCER PATIENT

 In 1990 I was fortunate to meet my future manager and best friend, A.J. Goodwin. I took him to a summer art show in the month of June in the village of Jenner, California, where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean. I had been exhibiting and marketing my music at this small, yet lovely art show, for several years and always looked forward to driving up the California coast and through Redwood forests to get to Jenner.

A.J. and I set up the music exhibition booth in a park just across from the ocean where the art show was being held. Shortly after the show opened at 10:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning, a middle aged woman came over to the table where the CDs and cassettes were neatly exhibited. Music was playing softly through a portable sound system. She went up to A.J., who was selling my music for the very first time. In fact, this woman was his second or third customer. The lady pointed to MIRACLE OF DOLPHINS piano cassette, The Miracle of Dolphins LP Cover, solo piano, published in 1983.put her finger on the tape exclaimed out loud: "This music saved my life!". I was busy with another customer at the far end of the table and did not hear the woman's declaration. She told A.J. that she had had breast cancer and it was a particularly bad case. Her husband and children were very worried about her future. A friend had given her MIRACLE OF DOLPHINS and there was something in the music that she could not explain, but that it gave her a desire to keep on living. She listened to the cassette continuously over a period of many months while at home in between her cancer therapy. She knew that she could not die and leave her husband and children so she put her faith in God and the music which gave her hope to continue to live.
