World Trade Center

On my last trip to NY I spent a fun filled day at the World Trade Center barely three months before the infamous tragic date of 9 eleven.

Returning to the site was a profound experience. I appreciated the candid conversation with fellow firefighters who honoured their heroic comrades at their station with commemorative headstones and bronzed helmuts. It was very emotional.

While they expressed a forward thinking renewed sense of moving forward which is visible in the entire site with the new construction of multiple buildings, I felt a tremendous sadness. My song Shelter Me from the Storm was written the day following New Yorks incredible loss. I've never performed it. Perhaps I will, perhaps I won't.

Bless them ALL!
