5. Here is something I learned a few years ago,

Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand went to the same high school and were in the choir together.

6. that is sad. I know Linda Ronstadt has it also

Every July 4th I can't stop singing his "Coming To America." I think that song captures the hopes of immigrants (like my grandparents) more than anything I have ever heard.

That and the cerebral "Longfellow Serenade." Just love it.

well, since I mentioned it:

11. I was just going to post this. I heard it on the 4th of July @ fireworks last yr. I am sorry to

hear about his diagnosis . We need more advanced research for a cure but there are treatments that help

8. Longfellow Serenade. Such were the plans I made.

9. How sad. I hope it's slow progression and he can keep doing other things than touring.

One of the albums that I loved as a teen was Taproot Manuscript, with the whole African Suite on the second side.
