I was checking out your site on My Space and was listening to Talkin' That Jazz.  I was surprised to hear my son's voice.  I'm Cola Rum's mama and just wanted to tell you that I think you are truly blessed, gifted and an inspiration to many.

As a mother, when our children leave the nest to venture out on their own, it is our desire that there be someone out there to continue nurturing their spirit and if only for a little while, guide and watch over them. From what I have read and heard about you, I know you were one of those someone's.  

The people we meet, throughout our life, are placed there for a reason and I know your mysticism left an imprint within his unconquerable soul. So, I Thank God for allowing a person with your attributes to enter his life and I Thank you for being just you.   

God Bless you,  

Pat Barkley
